Ever was it thus. The jahwist source offers a primeval myth that the priestly source ties to the later dueteromist proclamations.
Three narratives, each of which is internally coherent and without the anachronisms of their combination...,by three authors, in three distinct periods of history.
A myth provided as explanation for a set of declaratives, stamped with the authority of the priestly caste.
This pattern and the relationship between narrators over time, as well, is repeated in isaiah. The prophetic basis of an even later Christian authority.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
