SOME MISTAKES OF MOSES.
111
"And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
"And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman and brought her unto the man.
"And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man.
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh.
"And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed."
Order of creation in the first account :
- The heaven and the earth, and light were made.
- The firmament was constructed and the waters divided.
- The waters gathered into seas — and then came dry land, grass, herbs and fruit trees.
- The sun and moon. He made the stars also.
- Fishes, fowls, and great whales.
- Beasts, cattle, every creeping thing, man and woman.
