Yes, it can be confusing, and not just for the first time reader. It helps to read through the first five chapters, and then look back to see how they're divvied up. For instance, the second chapter of Genesis has a lot more detail about the creation of mankind and the animals and plant growth than the "creation list" in chapter one.
