Patterns: Who Wrote Genesis?: Genesis 2.4b – 5.1a

In Section One, I discussed my hypothesis on who wrote Genesis as applied toBadgerholt inkpot the first section: The book of the proceedings of the heavens and the earth, or Genesis One.

In the second section I apply my hypothesis to the book of the proceedings of Adam.  In particular, I note the identical construction in the Hebrew of Genesis 1.1 and Genesis 2.4b. I think this repetitive element  supports the idea that Genesis 2.4 should be divided between the two parts of the sentence and translated as the signature statement of the first section and the title of the next story, “How YHWH @Élöhîm fashioned hä@ädhäm (the man) and his wife.”
