If this has been discussed, please direct me to the proper thread.
In another post, I was engaged in discussion with wil, who pointed out a conversation he had with to Jewish aquaintances which wil describes the following:
"They discussed the existense of Jerusalem Bible and a Bethelem Bible and the differences between the two (one JHVH/YHWH the other Elohist origins) and then discussions/arguments regarding combining the books. And how we ended up with the two versions of creation and Noah to appease both parties."
The two accounts of creation (particularly with regard to Man) is in Genesis 1 & 2 and the two accounts of Noah bringing two of every animal vs seven of every animal is in Genesis 6 & 7. What wil tells me that one version is in one bible and the other version is in the other bible, but neither combine the two.
Is there an explanation to this?
