THE CHRONOLOGICAL OT VERSION OF THE KJV^©

SECTION 00001

--- NOTES ---

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

Genesis 2: 4-6 is considered by most to be the start of a new manuscript, not just because it re-states in it's first sentence the acts of creation, but also because this is the first place we see written 'LORD God', which replaces the tetragrammaton. The underlined words reflect the reason of this placement: it was before any plant and herb of the field, and it was before there was any man.
