A:The Book of Genesis is now believed to have been written by three main sources, anonymous but known to scholars as the 'J Source' or Yahwist, the 'E Source' or Elohist, and the 'P Source' or Priestly Source.

The J Source wrote from the point of view of the southern Hebrew kingdom of Judah in the very early part of the first millennium BCE. The J text includes the second creation story (which starts at Genesis 2:4a), the original version of Noah's Flood (there is also a version by the Priestly Source, but most readers are unaware of the existence of two somewhat different versions in the same book) and some material about the Patriarchs.
