Kevin Barney recently wrote up a brief comparison regarding some of the differences between Abraham 4 and 5 with Genesis 1 and 2. His purpose was to further the discussion on the potential influence that Joseph's Hebrew studies had upon the Book of Abraham. This contrast is directly relevant to a paper that I've been working on for a couple of months now, and part of the research for my paper explores some of these differences. I decided to leave out the verse by verse comparison from my paper, but in connection with Barney's blog post, I thought it might be well to add that comparison here. The verses are laid out in the following format (translation: underlying text):
King James Version (KJV): MT
Book of Abraham (Abr)
-
New Revised Standard Version (NRSV): MT
New English Translation of the Septuagint (NETS): LXX
The NRSV and LXX are provided for the purpose of 1) NRSV - inclusion of a more accurate translation of the masoretic text than the KJV provides, and 2) LXX - I initially wanted to see what similarities the BoA might have with the LXX where divergences exist between the MT and Abr. The NRSV and LXX are included below for informational purposes only. No analysis has been conducted on these additional sources in this post. Differences between Abr and the KJV are denoted by additions/changes or deletions/changes below.
A word of caution: this analysis does not compare the Book of Abraham transcripts in the Kirtland Egyptian Papers or the first published text in the Times and Seasons, rather the text from the Book of Abraham as it is currently published has been used. Additionally, the KJV text below is also from the currently published version by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, rather than an 1830's or 1840's KJV Bible, thus, there may be some differences not accounted for in the following analysis. A more academic approach in using the original/older texts is warranted for better textual criticism, but my purpose was to simply highlight some of the thematic differences, even though differences in specific verbiage (which I would anticipate if a proper exercise in textual criticism were conducted) would undoubtedly yield informative data as well.
The traditional "Priestly" (P) source - Genesis 1:1-2:4a:

22 And the rib that he had taken from Adam the Lord God fashioned into a woman and brought her to Adam.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
17 And Adam said: This was bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; now she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man;
-
23 Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman, for out of Man this one was taken.”
23 And Adam said, "This now is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman, for out of her husband she was taken."
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
18 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh.
-
24 Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh.
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
19 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed.
25 And the two were naked, both Adam and his wife, and were not ashamed.
19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20 And out of the ground the Gods formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them; and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that should be the name thereof.
-
19 So out of the ground the Lord God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
19 And out of the earth God furthermore formed all the animals of the field and all the birds of the sky and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them, and anything, whatever Adam called it as living creature, this was its name.
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 And Adam gave names to all cattle, to the fowl of the air, to every beast of the field; and for Adam, there was found an help meet for him.

20 And Adam gave names to all the cattle and to all the birds of the sky and to all the animals of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper like him.
