Genesis 2
View through CrossRef
The creation account in Genesis 2 contains an etiology of marriage and family and is also part of the larger introduction in Genesis 1–3 to the later (literarily speaking) habitable world outside the Garden of Eden. The characteristics of the etiological account are first explored, noting the concluding emphasis that Adam and Eve form a kinship unit through a one-flesh union. This account is briefly compared to Genesis 1:1–2:3, which is also an account of creation, and it is suggested that the narrative in Genesis 2 functions as an elaboration of the previous account, now that they are placed side-by-side. The continuation of the account in Genesis 3 interprets human mortality outside the Garden of Eden, along with indications that God will continue a relationship with the human community.
