Genesis 1

[RabbiO]

That certainly doesn't come from a plain reading of the Torah text. Just saying.

Two Accounts of Creation
When we examine these two verses, the most prominent difference between them is the name used for God. The first chapter uses the name Elokim - a name that corresponds to the Divine attribute of Justice (Midat Ha-Din). This aspect of creation is also called Gevurah (Strength), as the ability to meet the strict standards of unmitigated justice provides strength and legitimacy. If we can measure up to the attribute of Divine justice, we deserve to live.
The second chapter uses a combination of two names for the Creator: Hashem Elokim. The Torah precedes the name Elokim with the Tetragrammaton. This ineffable Divine name signifies the Divine trait of Mercy (Rachamim). It indicates that the world did not deserve to exist on the basis of its own merits. Creation of the universe required that the attribute of Justice be tempered with a measure of Mercy.

Do you teach Hebrew?

Yes, Jason teaches Hebrew.

There are a number of important distinctions between the two different stories in Genesis, how G-d is referred to is one of them. The first chapter uses Elohim. (Writing and saying Elokim is a common Orthodox practice when saying the name outside of prayer or scripture reading.) Chapter 2 refers to G-d as YHWH Elohim. YHWH is, of course, the tetragrammaton. The normative in prayer and in chanting Torah or Haftarah is to substitute Adonai for YHWH. (Again, common Orthodox practice is to substitute Hashem [The Name] or Adoshem for Adonai in every day speech or writing.)

The interpretation given is pretty standard traditional interpretation.
