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 :

  1. The heaven and the earth, and light were made.
  2. The firmament was constructed and the waters divided.
  3. The waters gathered into seas — and then came dry land, grass, herbs and fruit trees.
  4. The sun and moon. He made the stars also.
  5. Fishes, fowls, and great whales.
  6. Beasts, cattle, every creeping thing, man and woman.
