Bible Question:
When I read Gen 1:26-28, I understand that it has nothing to do with Adam and Eve, because after the chapter 1 of Genesis there is another account. Genesis 2:7 says:«The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living being.» This man is Adam of course. Eve comes only in Chapter 2:22. So, Who are the male and female created in Gen 1:27? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Timoteoarao! Welcome to the forum my friend. It is always nice to have another Tim. :-) It is my understanding that both Genesis 1 and 2 refer to the creation of Adam and Eve. However, chapter 1 simply gives us a broad overview. It gives us very little detail about Adam and Eve except to say that God created 'man'. Chapter 2, then goes on to focus on the creation of man in some detail, including the detail that 'man' included both Adam and Eve. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
