/* The account in chapter 2 */ Break verses up for clarity
Others see no lack of harmony among the accounts, but believe chapter two is intended to show the sixth day of creation from the view of man in the garden. It is also argued that the word 'formed' in verse 19 can legitimately be read as 'had formed' (as used in the NIV translation). Indeed, in that case with the garden (plants) already existing before man and animals already having been formed, but merely being brought before Adam, there is no contradiction at all. This can be seen more clearly when verse 19 is read in context:
{{Bible quote|And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. <br /><br />And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof. <br /><br />And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.<br />|book=Genesis|chap=2|verses=18-20|version=KJV}}
