ELOHISTIC.

Order of Creation:
First—Water.
Second—Land.
Third—Vegetation.
Fourth—Animals.
Fifth—Mankind; male and female.

In this story male and female man are created simultaneously, both alike, in the image of the gods, after animals have been called into existence

Here, joint dominion over the earth is given to woman and man, without limit or prohibition.

Everything, without exception, is pronounced "very good."

Man and woman are told that "every plant bearing seed upon the face of the earth and every tree… "To you it shall be for meat." They are thus given perfect freedom

Man and woman are given special dominion over all the animals-" every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

YAHOISTIC.

Order of Creation:
First—Land.
Second—Water.
Third—Male Man, only.
Fourth—Vegetation
Fifth—Animals.
Sixth—Woman.

In this story male man is sculptured out of clay, before any animals are created, and before female man has been constructed.

Here, woman is punished with subjection to man for breaking a prohibitory law.

There is a tree of evil, whose fruit, is said by Yahweh to cause sudden death, but which does not do so, as Adam lived 930 years after eating it.

Man is told there is one tree of which he must not eat, "for in the day thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die."

An animal, a "creeping thing," is given dominion over man and woman, and proves himself to be truthful . (Compare Genesis chapter 2, verse 17, with chapter 3, verses 4 and 22.)
