The God of the Bible is represented by the plural word Elohim, implying the Three-in-One God, i.e. the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In the six-day Creation account of Genesis 1, man is created on the same day as the land animals, Day 6, i.e. after the sea creatures and birds on Day 5. Genesis 2 does not contradict this account, but instead gives a more in-depth view of the creation of the first man and woman, Adam and Eve.

Genesis 1:1 to 2:1 shows how this God created light and darkness, heaven and earth, the seas and plants, the sun, moon and stars, the fishes and birds, the animals and finally man over the course of six 'days' (Hebrew yom), before resting on the seventh. This six day Creation account then immediately leads into a more detailed account of exactly how God created men and women and gave men dominion over the natural world. The Fall immediately follows The Creation.
