All I have is questions tonight.

1: 27 ...in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Why didn't the author (Moses) just mention that God made man. Was it still the sixth day when He created woman. Could it possibly still be the sixth day when God created Eve even though Adam had given names to all the animals?

2: 8 ...in the middle of the garden he placed the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Two trees?

Oh 3: 22 answers that. ...Look, the human beings have become like us, knowing both good and evil. What if they reach out, take fruit from the tree of life and eat it? Then they will live forever. Yes there were two trees.

Why didn't Adam and Eve eat from the tree of life?

I would love to hear your thoughts or any questions you might have.

    1:27 I noticed that he created male & female but later in ch 2:21-22 he detailed how he made the female. Is ch 1 a summary?

    Satan always knows our weakness. :) I don't think death was an issue until 3:19 so she really didn't need life. But it was tempting to be like God so that's what he offered her. (I'm just guessing)

    My observations:
    I've known the God had a personal relationship with A & E when they were in the garden but this reading really shows how intimate it was.

    2:7 God breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils and the man became a living person.

    That is God's only creation that HE put HIS breath in. It's so intimate to think that we were created with God's own breath.

    3:21 After punishing A & E for their sin God then made them clothing to cover their shame. What a loving gesture - he could have told them to figure it out themselves.

    Did you notice in 3:16 right after God says we will have pain in childbirth he says "you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you" Kindof explains alot about marriage doesn't it.

    PS God only forbid them from eating from the tree of good & evil even though he mentions the tree of life. 2:17 - I have to give D credit for that one.

    And to add to my intimate things happening they even heard God's footsteps. I love that!
