Storytelling Technique
I'm going to step out on some very thin ice here because I have VERY little Bible knowledge. However, a Coptic Orthodox friend of mine explained that the way Genesis 1 and 2 are written actually coincides with Egyptian storytelling techniques (since Moses is the guy who supposedly wrote Genesis this follows....I guess). Where a storyteller begins in a generalized way and then gets detailed. For example, I believe it says something about creating man and woman in his image, BUT it is explained in better detail in the 2nd chapter that God actually created man first in his image, then woman (maybe so we wouldn't think God was female in any way?, lol)...I guess it is supposed to be the same for the rest? Like I said cha-ching...two cents.
