Creation focus between Gen 1 & 2 are quite different:
Genesis 1 is more speculative, discussing the mystery of the world's existence, which likely appealing to the philosophically oriented
Genesis 2 is simpler, more anthropomorphic, more appealing to the masses, more colorful & vivid
Differences between Genesis 1 / Genesis 2 creation stories
6 days / 1 day for creation (
Gen: 2:4
)
World from a mass of water (

) / Land comes 1st (

)
Sexes created at same time / Man formed 1st
Plants on 3rd day before man's creation / Man created before plants & herbs
(Gen: 2:5-9
)
Living creatures created before man / Living creatures created after man, and for his sake (
Gen 2:19
)
