Adam and Eve eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Source:Jeffjacobs1990 on Pixabay )
- Read Genesis in the ESV translation
- I like how the story starts with "In the Beginning.."
-In the Genesis parts, there is a clear timeline, followed with the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh days.
- Uses very good descriptions
- Repetition is present by calling things good and very good
- "each according to its kind"
-"greater light and lesser light"
-"Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."
-"have dominion over"
-God rested on 7th day
-"a mist was going up from the land"
-Eden
-directions, specific timelines
-names are important and a lot of times have meanings with them in the text
-Woman- taken from man
-serpent was more crafty- uses convincing language with Eve
- "Lord walking in the garden in the cool of the day"
-Eve-mother of all living
-Adam was "fully and completed developed" when he was created
-Adam possessed "extraordinary size and physical perfection"
-the word "see" repeated in different forms

-Adam a prophet
-Adam "aroused the envy of the angels"
-"God flung Satan and his host out of heaven."

-"Ineffable Name"
