A literally trivial question: what's up with the chapter division between Genesis 1 and 2? On my table copy the second creation story starts on 2:4 or 2:5, with 2:1-3 (and possibly 4) being the denoument to the first creation story, which was otherwise contained in chapter one. Is there a logic here?
