Genesis Chapter 2

In the beginning of this chapter Moses explains that after God created everything, he liked what he saw and now rested on the 7th day. According to the original Hebrew text the word used for day literally translates to a 24 hour period in the text that speaks of the creation. That's pretty amazing stuff.
Then Moses goes on to describe the beautiful garden God created for Adam. Then He brings the animals to be named by Adam. I wonder what Adam's vocabulary was. Did he know every word there was to know at that time? Or did it matter? Did he just make up the words as he went, since God knows all? Ok, I know I think too much. That's probably why I never make it through the whole Bible!
Now God decides that man should not be alone and so He creates for him animals. This confused me a bit since in Chapter one, the animals were said to be made first, then Adam. Although, all on the same day, so I am not sure what the deal is. Maybe the events aren't necessarily listed in order for each day. But these animals weren't enough for Adam. He needed someone more like himself and so God makes woman from his rib. He takes her as his wife and we have the first man and woman. The first marriage. Genesis is the book of beginnings. Unfortunately the next beginning is not so sweet.
