Genesis Episode 2: Yahweh-Elohim Splits the Human

In Genesis' second version of its two very different Creation stories, the god, now named Yhwh-Elohim, is still the main character, but begins by making a humanoid creature called "the-adam" out of the ground ("adam-a").

Then Yhwh-Elohim rather comically attempts to make a partner that will make the adam happy by making all the animals, but fails again and again... until resorting to drastic measures: splitting the humanoid into a man and a woman.

This is a retelling of Genesis 2:1-2:25, followed by the geeky stuff aka scholarly observations from the Hebrew text, history, and culture.
