What the reviewed material says
The chapter describes divine speech, separation of light and darkness, lights marking seasons, days and years, and humankind made in God’s image. These are statements in the chapter. A comparison with Sefer Yetzirah needs separate textual references rather than assuming the same wording or a demonstrated transmission route.
Survival and uncertainty
A modern translated chapter does not supply all Hebrew witnesses or date its own original composition.
What needs doing next · P2 · witness comparison
Keep translation, Hebrew textual witnesses, proposed composition history and later interpretation in separate fields.
