D0ahle Narrative of Creation in Genesis.
Professor j. w. Gibbs, of Yale C,llac..
the distinguished or;entali.t and scholar.
has contributed TO the New lInrlan,l.r an
| article with theaboye title. in which he shows
that the beginning OF Genesis contains two
accounts OF the Creation; the one ext, nLinr
TO the third verse of chapter second. inclu.
sive; and the other To the end of chan,er
ibird. The hrst section, according to this
division, has visible unity. il beinp tho
history OF seven successive days. The second
section has also an unity of its own. The
beginning and end of il both refer TO the
Garden of Eden. The second section has :,
dlsthct superscnptioa, Gen. .: 4. Compare
similar superscriptions, Gen. s.: 90: IL:
III so: /: but see also Gen. 10: 20, 81. 80.
80: 80 rs az: 20. Sometimes we fud
double titles. See Gen Y: xxxvi. In the
first section The Deity is called ElohiD, (Godl
'h"ty'hve tunes, and by no other name In
!he second section he is called JehoOah Flo
hna (lord God) nineteen times. and by no
other name, where the writer speaks in his
own person. There are three instances in
when the woman or serpent speaks, and
the Deity is called EloAim, Gen. 3 l.: ..
Ihe Professor judges that the writer Of
the first section had digesteI plans before
HIM, and he notes ry;hmus and uniformity
III the construction of his sentences, contrast
ing with the more simple and artless style
OF The second section. The writer of see
ond, often hnds occasion TO go back, in or.
der to mention circumstances which he had
omitted IN their proper place. After noti
cing the formation Of man, and being about
to place him in the Garden of Eden. he
goes back to describe the planting and To-
cation OF that garden. chap. 2: To- Man
is placed IN Eden, and the temptation is at
HAND; the sacred penman goes back to no
tce the origin of the woman, as she was n
partner with him in the ,ransgression. This
| again leads the writer TO describe the occa.
sion of her being created, chapter Q, is 25.
Ifoi. Gibbs notices some apparent iucon.
si,teuces.
In The first section, man app ars to be
created at the same time with woman. Gen.
!: &c % In the second, lie is formed from
the dust chap. 2: 4; 10, and woman af.
;eF"ards' 2: %. In the first section plants
are produced by the mere viii of Gci. and
before the creation Of man, Gen. 1: II &c.
In The second, plants appear 10 originate
itom natural causes and from human cu!.
ture, chap. ?: 3 s. In the first section. the
earth has more of Nemunian origin, Gen.
]: ,. Ia the second, more of a vulcatiop.
chap. ,: 6.
These circumstances the Professor thinks
are capable OF plausible solution. lie nj
80 notices some reiutaions. The separation
of the 18th day from the Isl ehapier. Ia
which 1t properly belongs, has lad. in sev.
efW respects, he thinks, an injurious ten
dency. lie doe, not see how the truth OF
tins theory can well bc denied, nor does lie
deem II iuconsistGui with the divine au.
thoriiy which we wish to attach TO tlre Ri
