Karl, I don't quite follow as to what your objections are; and Oun, I'm not quite sure what distinction you are attempting to make. I'll let Nir speak for himself, but I do not think his argument had anything to do with chapter and verse divisions. The toledot formulas in Genesis are always introductory formulas. So Gen 2:4 is introductory to the account and narrative that follow. This seems to hold true for the rest of the occurrences as well. Gen 1:1, then, serves as the introductory summary statement for the creation account to come, just as Nir argued for Gen 10 and 22. Blessings,
