An Introduction to the Biblical World
The beginning of the Bible coincidentally starts with the beginning of all creation which is portrayed in two separate accounts that differ in construction, theology, style, and illustration. Surprisingly, Genesis 2–3 is the earliest of the two accounts possibly written as late as 1000 B.C. Confirming this is that Genesis 2–3 holds themes and ideas found in many creation myths from the surrounding regions of the fertile crescent (i.e. humans formed from the earth, humans’ relation to the divine, etc..). Genesis 1 on the other hand has an ordered and simplified construction and was written around 600–500 B.C.

How to Make Sense of Contradictions in the Bible
The Bible has two creation accounts/narratives as seen in the book of Genesis. Gen. 1 is thought to be written after Gen. 2 (scholars believe it was written around the Babylonian Exile ca. 587–530 B.C.) while Gen. 2 is likely to be an oral tradition that circled around the Levant and eventually was adapted and kept by the ancient Israelites possibly as early as 1000 B.C.
