Genesis 2:24 The Marriage Model. God's "How to" Pattern. Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

This first marriage, and the description of marriages to come, was the ideal pattern for all men and women to follow, a pattern with four points:

Each member of the union to be, separately, first knows God personally.
The man (not the woman) leaves his birth family and together with his wife they establish a new family unit. His primary allegiance is no longer to his parents but to her.
When the man leaves his parents to join his wife, his parents and all society is put on notice that here is a new family unit.
Because they are joined together in the presence of God, the church, the body of believers, recognizes their new family unit.

This is God's ideal for us. Genesis 2:25 is the high point of the passage of Genesis 2-3. They were naked before each other and unashamed before God.

Genesis 2:18 Equal Partners ('ezer kenegdo) Oct 27, 2020

Show notes

Cook's helper or Partner? In Genesis 2, when God creates the woman, she is described in relation to the man. In two Hebrew words packed full of meaning, ‘ezer kenegdo, God describes how the two are designed to go together. They are made for each other, just hours apart. Once together, they are to be a resourceful and satisfied pair, at home together in Eden.

Modern language versions of the Bible translate these two Hebrew words in confusing and contradictory ways. But there really is no cause for confusion. The two words in Genesis 2:18 are not that hard to translate.

An ‘ezer kenegdo is someone who is equal, a counterpart, one who works together with another as they help each other through sharing their strengths.

Genesis 3:16 Has Been Polluted! Oct 21, 2020

Show notes

It turns out that there’s been a lot of pollution dumped into Genesis 3:16 by translations into the modern languages we use today. They mix new ideas into the verse and cover over the ideas God put there in the original Hebrew words of the verse. Translations make it look like God cursed the woman when God cursed neither the woman nor the man. The translation of that verse has been incorrect. So, why aren’t our translations doing better? And, why would there be a problem translating this verse? What’s going on?
