GENESIS SAYS THAT GOD CREATED ANIMALS BEFORE HUMANS AND THAT HE CREATED HUMANS BEFORE ANIMALS. WHICH IS CORRECT? THANKS YOU.

Which are the books that are not part of the 66 Books of the Bible but they are mentioned in the Bible ?

Reuben bought for Shimon 2 security cameras to be installed in Shimon's house. After buying the cameras, the seller gave Reuben one free camera. Does the free camera belong to Shimon or Reuben?

Yeremiah 22:29 Earth,earth,earth, hear the word of YHVH [ Shin~Mem~Ayin spells shama verb meaning obey,yield to, consider,consent,be content, grant request] Whenever Yah repeats words in a passage, is there added significance? Is He perhaps pleading with His people before dispensing judgment?

Psalms 58:3 The wicked are "estranged" from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Will you explain this? Can a fetus be influenced while in the womb? Was Haman wicked from the womb?

Shalom aleichem Rabbi Lauffer. Thank you for answering my last question. Sanhedrin 37a says that Adam was created alone so that one would not be able to tell his fellow that his father was greater than his father. But how can this be the reason, when Kayin's father was Satan in the guise of the nachash, not Adam HaRishon, as brought in Pirkei d' R' Eliezer 21? So we see that some people descended from the serpent, and not everyone descended from Adam HaRishon. Is the answer that Hashem knew that all of the b'nei Kayin would die in the flood, so He knew beforehand that Adam would be the father of everyone? But that doesn't explain the fact that before the flood, the b'nei Adam could have told the b'nei Kayin that their father was better than their father.

Shalom aleichem Rabbi Lauffer. Thank you for answering my last question. I sort of remember seeing that the Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh discusses the individual characteristics of each Shevet somewhere in his commentary. Can Rabbi Lauffer tell me where in his commentary he discusses this? Thanks a lot.
