ADAM TO NOAH

MODULE 3: Man and Woman Created and Unified

SESSION 15: The Man and the Woman as One Flesh

This all began in Genesis 1:18 where God said it is not tov for the human to be alone. Later on God created a woman using a rib of a man and when the man saw him he said “this is the bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh”. Literary it signifies that bone and flesh is a language of biological connection.

However digging deeper down the scriptures, this text in Genesis 1 creates a narrative of union among humans where it is God’s plan for humans to unite and fulfil the purpose that was originally intended. It started with Adam, then there is a story of Cain and Abel separating. Further we find people trying to unite and find God through the tower of Babylon. What About Abraham and Lot who got separated after chaos arising among them? What about Jacob and Esau separating and trying to unite at a later stage? What about Joseph and his brothers. Therefore the ultimate plan of God for humanity is unity.
