1 | Why did Eve orginally leave the garden? | Gen 3:1 | Emmaus | 93985 | ||
Tom, I follow your reasoning, but do not agree that it rules out the standard interpretation. I work in a Courthouse. Often in the hallways I am appraoched and asked "do you work here?" and other times "do you work in the Courthouse?". In both situations I am in the courthouse with my questioner. When speaking to someone asking for information or guidance on a particular matter I may says "in the Courthouse we do" or "do not" or "the Courthouse doesn't have" or any number of variations of that phrase. I would agree that Eve may or may not have been at the tree, but not that she was not in the Garden. Adam was definitely there when she took the bite. One thing that I think can be ascertained from the language of Genesis is that Adam was not doing his job as the "guard-ener". In Genesis 2:15 the word for "keep" is shamar, which carries a distinct meaning "to guard" implying the need to ward off potential intruder. The first sin, in a sense, may have been Adam's sin of ommission in not confronting the threat from the Serpent in the Garden which God had entrusted to his care and protection along with his mate.

Emmaus, thank you for your insight into my “question”. It has helped me better understand where my “conclusions” went array. You are most likely correct in your assessment. Now, after rereading that portion, I see what you mean. I guess I had better make sure my glasses (both natural and spiritual) are not too smudged before coming to any “assumptions. I believe yours merits much. Thanks again. Tom |
