How,then, does one explain the significant differences in the narrative about 
the creation of woman between chapters 1 and 2 in Gen.? To cite just one 
example of the various versions preserved in the HB.

Uri:

What “significant differences” between chaps 1 and 2 of Genesis?

1) They don’t contradict, one merely includes details the other omits

2) Different authors. Just as the books of Kings relied on previous 
documents, so Moses had previous documents when he authored Genesis which he 
indicated by his use of TWLDWT.

Before we get into example after example, many other “significant 
differences” have simple explanations, such as David may have sung a psalm 
slightly differently extemporaneously than the way he had the same psalm 
recorded in the book of Psalms after editing; the “raw” version then was 
recorded in Samuel and the polished version in Psalms. Without a paper trail, 
these “reworkings” remain speculation.

Karl W. Randolph.
