The 3 main departures from the source material, Chapter 2 of Genesis

1. "Personhood" Precedes People

Every living being exists for their own sake. No living being, as their entire reason for being, is born, bred, or believed to be the exclusive resource of people.

Virtually all of the emotional and mental capacities once thought to be the sole exclusive possession of humans can found in virtually every other living being. Animal humans are the ancestors of the human animal.

2. From Prohibition To Invitation

Rather than warning against, there's a way onward. Rather than setting up people for failure with temptation, G∞d sets people up for success to receive teaching.

3. Women Birthed or b'Earthed Men

This version recognizes the simple observable fact that females give birth. While in a certain sense it is true beings come out of males, none come out of their ribs with the exception of maybe sea horses. Only from between a females ribs do we come into viable form.

Then the women reflected, “They are light of our light, life of our life;
 these sons call themselves men, for out of women these ones were created.”

ReGenIsis 2.23

Chapter 2: An Altar Native Account of ReCreation

1 Thus the Heavens and the worlds are evolving, and all their multitude. 2 And always G∞d continues this Life chi recreates, and chi recreates always in this Life they so live. 3 So G∞d praises all ways and blesses all, because all throughout, G∞d continues to recreate all the Lives in creation. 

4 Four elements come together and unify, nourishing the Gardens of Eden in where life flows. 5 The name of the first is Air; this is the one that abides in all the spaces where there are living beings; 6 And many living beings in a space are good; health and well being are there. 7 The name of the second element is Fire; this is the one that warms life all throughout the lands of Eden. 8 The name of the third element is Water, which flows within, throughout, and pours from the sky. And the fourth element is Earth. 

9 These are the regenerations of the heavens and the worlds as they are created. In the eons that the Kind* G∞d birthed the Heavens and the Earth, 

10 when no plants of the forests were yet on the Earth and no herbs of the fields had yet sprung up – for the Kind G∞d had not caused land to rise up from the oceans, and there were no seeds to root the ground; 11 but the hills would rise from the oceans, and water would spring from the ground – 12 then the Kind G∞d breathed into all the spaces the spirit of Life and forests formed from the soil of the ground; and the forests became living beings. 13 And the Kind G∞d sprung gardens within Eden, all throughout; and there chi inspired fields which they also formed. 14 Out of the forests and fields the Kind G∞d made to grow many trees that are pleasant to the sight and plentiful of fruits. The Trees** of Life also in the midst of the gardens, and Wisdom Trees of Effort and Ease^. 

15 The Kind G∞d touches all life and keeps them in the gardens to love and live in. 16 And the Kind G∞d invited all life, “You may freely eat of many trees in the gardens; 17 and of Wisdom Trees of Effort and Ease you may eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall flow.”

18 Then the Kind G∞d thought, “It is good there are many kinds all over; we will make new kinds as kindred.” 19 So from the seas and the forests the Kind G∞d created every being of the fields, and every being of the skies, and brought the women around to them to listen to what they call themselves; and whatever they called themselves, that was their name. 20 The women heard the names of all the beings of the field, and of all the beings of the air; and from the women were found another energy within. 21 Thus the Kind G∞d caused another awakening to come from within the women and they enlarged; chi found a space within the women and filled them with light. 22 And in the space that the Kind G∞d found within the women chi created men and invited them to be together. 

23 Then the women reflected, “They are light of our light, 

life of our life;
 these sons call themselves men, 

for out of women these sons were created.” 

24 Therefore beings recognize ebb and flow within every life, and remain one light. 25 And the women and men were both balanced, and were at peace.

Footnotes

Kind* Associated with kin and kindred, Kind is understood in it's multiple meanings, both as having or showing a friendly, generous, and considerate nature AND a group of beings or things having similar characteristics.

Trees** Other versions use 'truths' as in Truths of Life. Referring to the Laws of Ecodynamics and the Will of Life.

Effort and Ease^ Some versions place ease before effort. Regardless of whether ease should come before effort, or effort should come before ease, it is agreed both should be balanced. Neither taken indefinitely to their extremes are healthy. There is simply no politics, no philosophy, no version of life, where absolutely zero effort or exertion is possible or to be desired.
