  1. Genesis 2:23b-25

    [FONT=Verdana]-
    [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†.[/COLOR] Gen 2:23b . .This one shall be called Woman, for from Man was she taken.[/B]

    The Hebrew word for "woman" is from [I]'ishshah[/I] (ish-shaw') which is the feminine form of [I]'iysh[/I] (eesh) which means a human being as an individual or as a male person. So 'ishshah doesn't indicate another species of human life (e.g. Lilith) it just simply indicates the opposite side of the same coin; viz[B]:[/B] a woman is just as much ...

  2. Genesis 2:18-23a

    [FONT=Verdana]-
    [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†.[/COLOR] Gen 2:18 . .Yhvh God said: It's not good for Adam to be solitary; I will make a fitting helper for him.[/B]

    "a fitting helper" is from two Hebrew words. "Fitting" is from [I]neged[/I] (neh'-ghed) which means: a front, i.e. part opposite; specifically a counterpart, or mate. The word for "helper" is from [I]'ezer[/I] (ay'-zer) which means: aid.

    Note that aid isn't spelled with an "e" ...

  3. Parenthesis

    The ban on the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, was tempered by a carte blanche to eat fruits from all the rest of the trees; including the tree of life. So it's not like God pigeonholed Adam and forced him to eat from the wrong tree in order to survive. Earlier, in Gen 1:29, God gave Adam permission to eat all manner of plant life. So he had lots of options. An abundance of other nutrition was available. Therefore, if Adam ate from the wrong tree, he had no excuse for ...

  4. Genesis 2:15-17

    [FONT=Verdana]-
    [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†.[/COLOR] Gen 2:15-17 . .The Lord God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and tend it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying: Of every tree of the garden you are free to eat; but as for the tree of knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat of it; for in the day you eat of it, you shall die.[/B]

    That passage has always been an embarrassment for Bible thumpers because Adam didn't drop dead the instant he tasted ...

  5. Genesis 2:10-14

    [FONT=Verdana]-
    [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†.[/COLOR] Gen 2:10a . . A river issues from Eden to water the garden,[/B]

    The verb "issues" is in the present tense; indicating whoever wrote Gen 2:10, did so while the land of Eden yet existed. The authorship of Genesis has yet to be positively established. A verse like 2:10 strongly suggests that the data used to compile Genesis, was progressively accumulated in hand-me-down journals or in oral rote, generated by people who lived ...
