:::Not required, actually. Genesis 1 gives the overview, and Genesis 2 gives the details. Verse 4 makes this clear, as you can see from my translation: "This is the story..." Notice also that Verse 5 undergoes a badly needed repair, because as it was, it didn't make a bit of sense.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 18:27, 27 October 2009 (EDT)

::::But verse 4 says: ''This is the story of the skies and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the skies.'' This still looks like the start of a different story doesn't it? And for example, Gen 2 - 19 has the animals created after Adam, while Gen 1 - 23 has the animals on the filth day - before Adam. --[[User:British_cons|British_cons]] [[User_talk:British_cons|(talk)]] 17:48, 29 October 2009 (EDT)

::::: Somehow, I don't think it's right to rewrite the Bible to suit our views when the whole point of this project is to create a version that doesn't do that. [[User:Gregkochuconn|Gregkochuconn]] 16:19, 21 July 2012 (EDT)

(2) The earthly elements were dispersed and mixed among the heavenly elements (as dust in the sunlight) but all was dark and the Spirit of God moved upon the waters. --[[User:Tboxx|Tboxx]] 19:37, 20 April 2011 (EDT)
