God Created Man
Genesis 1:26 – 31
Men are created in the image of God – both make and female – and given stewardship over the earth and all living things.
Genesis 2:7 – 8, 15 – 25
Good places Adam in the garden and invites him to name the animals. In the process Adam funds nothing suitable to be his companion. Good then firms Eve who Adam sees as that suitable companion – his complementary equal. He must have seen many animals that he knew were complementary equals to each other.
Moses 2 and 3 parallel Genesis 1 and 2 very closely.
Abraham 5:7 – 21
In this version eve is created before the animals have come to be named by Adam.
