(KJV) Genesis 2:4-6

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

⁵ And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

⁶ But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

This second account of creation (Genesis 2:4-25) does not contradict Genesis 1:1 – Genesis 2:3. It explains in greater detail the creation of man and woman, their environment and the and the results of their sin and rebellion against God. Genesis 2 gives the chronological details, or the specific order in which things occurred.

Another name for God is introduced in Genesis 2:4, the name “LORD” (Hebrew YHWH, “Yahweh”). Elohim, the general name given in Genesis 1:1, emphasizes God’s greatness and power. But “LORD” is the personal name God uses to reveal Himself to His own covenant people. The name reflects His love and concern for the human race. It is used in situations where He is seen in direct relationship to His people or to nature. The word “LORD God” coupled together point to God as the all-powerful Creator who has entered into a loving covenant (“life agreement”) relationship with humankind (Genesis 2:9-25; Exodus 6:6; Leviticus 11:44-45; Isaiah 53:1; Isaiah 53: 5; Isaiah 53:6; Exodus 3:14).
