Genesis 2:4–25 THIS is a separate and independent account of the origin of man; quite distinct, and meant to be distinct, from the former. The two, when fairly viewed, are not at all inconsistent with one another: they are rather supplementary to one another. In the first, man comes forth in his high spiritual or heavenly nature, as allied to God and capable of intercourse with God; in the second he appears as “of the earth, earthy” (1 Cor. xv. 47); 1 having an earthly origin and earthly relations.
