   Just another point on this passage, the chapter division of the text are
   of late Christian origin and some times do not accurately reflect the
   natural division of the text. In this passage you should read the last
   verse of Chapter 2, about them being naked and not ashamed, as the opening
   of this passage. Splitting it away into another chapter prevents people
   from reading the passage as intended.

I agree that the split belongs where you place it, but the chapter
divisions in the OT are found the in the Masoretic text and are not of
Christian origin.  The NT and Apocrypha chapter (and verse) divisions
date from after the Reformation.

This information comes from the introductory notes to the Revised
English Bible.  If they're wrong, I'd appreciate hearing about it...
