Genesis

After looking over the account of Adam and Eve and how the world came into being, I realized that Moses (writer of Genesis) included several interesting points. He used a sort of poetic language. He used repetition in talking about the account of God's creation. "And God saw that it was good" is repeated several times within the course of Genesis 1. But the one thing that really caught me that had to do with poetic language was that the paragraphs are in a little different in chapter 3: 14-19. God is explaining Adam, Eve and the Serpents punishment. In doing this he devotes a paragraph to each. These paragraphs are split by the beginging. Each one starts with the repetition "And God said to ..." . After looking over Genesis it is interesting to see God's way of using events in the beggining to portray artistic sides and qualities of our world.
