About this book
The discussion describes a creation account that introduces a polytheistic system by treating the creation of gods as well as the creation of the universe. An extract from Mr. Smith's translation describes waters existing before a tree had grown, a flower had unfolded, or the gods had sprung up. The explanation identifies Lahma and Lahamu with power or motion in nature and compares them with the Divine Spirit moving upon the waters in Genesis.
The account of humanity describes the earth as inhabited for the first time by a being capable of comprehending Jehovah's purposes and regarding his works with intelligent admiration. The preceding creatures are described as wonderful in structure and instinct but restricted to animal propensities, without power to raise a thought toward their maker.
