In Genesis, the earliest creation story is the second biblical creation story (Genesis 2:4b-25), attributed to an anonymous author now known as the Yahwist, believed to have lived in Judah around the tenth century BCE. Even before the Yahwist wrote this story down, it was probably circulating as an oral tradition.

The first biblical creation story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) is attributed to another anonymous author now known as the Priestly Source, who probably lived shortly after the end of the Babylon Exile, thus the fifth century BCE.
