My Own Genesis Creation Story

/ 18 October 2010

Earlier today I turned in the second paper for my Biblical Tradition class. Half this paper was really just answering specific questions, and as such I decided couldn’t be put online on account of that I’d then need to explain what each part was answering. However, for the second half of the paper we were to write our own Creation Story. That part, I can put online. We were required to (attempt to) imitate one of the main authors of the Torah section of the bible, either the Yahwist or the Priestly author/source. I chose to imitate the Yahwist, can any of you figure out what of his style I imitated (for those that know the differences between the sources in the first place)?
