Genesis 1:31
(KJV)
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.
And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 2:1
(KJV)
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Take notice,
God saw every thing, …every thing that he had made… and, behold, it was very good[KJV]
Usage Notes:
"exceedingly; very; greatly; highly.”
—Vine's Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words
And the evening
and the morning were the sixth day.
What was included
in the “very [exceedingly] good”?
The heavens
and the earth and all the host of them.
Genesis 2:1
(KJV)
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. <H6635>.
What are the
host of the heavens and the earth? The angels.
Host of them:
Hebrew Strong's Number: 6635
from <H6633>
(tsaba'); a mass of persons (or figurative things), especially reg. organized for war (an army); by implication a campaign,
literal or figurative (specifically hardship, worship) :- appointed time, (+) army, (+) battle, company, host, service, soldiers,
waiting upon, war (-fare).—Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary
Now let’s
read Gen 1:31 and 2:1 again
Genesis 1:31
(KJV)
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.
And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
God saw every
thing that he had made … and, behold, it was very good.
the sixth day
Genesis 2:1
(KJV)
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
This leads me
to believe that Satan had not fallen yet. If Satan had already falling or had
been cast out of heaven at this time, God would be a liar to claim that every thing He had made including the host were very
[exceedingly] good. Just one more reason I disagree with the gap theory.
We are told
in Romans that sin entered the picture through Adam not ages previous. And Satan
no doubt envious over Adam who was created in the image of God and the apple of God’s eye. Man was made higher then the angels and higher then Satan and that is why, I believe, he said, I will be like the most high, I will set my kingdom on most high.
He now knows He doesn’t stand a chance of defeating the creator. When
he fell, he then targets man, the creation of the most high.
When we read
about Satan in Eden, we read about him in his un-fallen state
Ezekiel 28:13-15
(KJV)
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the
diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy
tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Oh, by the way,
the day that thou wast created means that Satan is
not Jesus brother. Satan was a created being.
Ezekiel 28:14
-15 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast
walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast
perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
And when was
he created?
Genesis 2:1
(KJV)
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Genesis 2:2
(KJV)
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work
which he had made.
How could God
rest if Satan was loose? In order for there to be rest in the millennium kingdom
Satan has to be bound. Since the fall God never rest. Before the fall and after creation God set a time of rest by example for us. He knows our frame and understands we need rest.
Genesis 2:3
(KJV)
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God
created and made.
With Genesis
2:1,2 and 3 we have now finished chapter 1. he rested from all his work which
God created and made
Sitting back
on the beach and watching my children and grand children or watching after all the Christmas present are made and wrapped.
I rest with a cup of coffee and sit back and just watch. My heart smiles with joy and pride and that’s OK. God
Himself bragged about Job. We may call this rest, and it is, but our eyes are
wide open watching our children’s excitement and enthusiasm.
Now, the beginning
of the study of chapter 2.
Genesis 2:4
(KJV)
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God
made the earth and the heavens,
Now we will
see in Genesis 2:4 that God has added a name about Himself because He is now relating Himself to man. When you see LORD in capital letters, the word is the Hebrew Word: הוהי
Transliteration: yhwh Phonetic Pronunciation: yeh-ho-vaw' according to Strong’s.
from <H1961> (hayah הָיָה); (the) self-Existent or Eternal Compare <H3050>
We’ll
compare <H3050> in just a minuet.
hayah הָיָה
<H1961>a primitive root to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary…
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary
Now let’s
look at God <H430> Hebrew Word: אֱלֹהִים
Transliteration:
’elōhîm
Phonetic Pronunciation:
el-o-heem'
Root: plural
of <H433>Hebrew Word: אֱלוֹהַּ Transliteration: ’elōah
Phonetic Pronunciation: el-o'-ah
Root: probably
prolonged (emphatic.) from <H410>strength; as adjective mighty; especially the Almighty
Plural of <H433> ('elowahh); gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article)
of the supreme God—Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary
The shortened
name Jah which I wrote as Yah is the name God gave to me one morning before I knew how to pronounce Hebrew names. I woke one morning from my bunk while on a sabbatical while in prison.
I sat straight up and said, Yah. I wrote it down because I had learned
to write things down before I forgot them at that point in time. I went to a
friend of mine who was a Rabi and a linguist and showed him the word. He said
that the word is the first name of God. That one word ministered to me that day
with great weeping for joy. Let me show you why.
Image you are the one setting in prison and crying out to God for those who do not understand forgiveness, along and
feeling forsaken by loved ones that do not understand God’s mercy. And
the Lord God gives you His name, “Yah.”
Words have meaning,
especially in the Hebrew. Remember the names of the descendents from Adam to
Noah. In their names, the gospel of salvation was written for any one to read
if they read the meaning of each word in a sentence. Let’s look at the
name LORD God in a sentence.
<H3050>Hebrew
Word: הי Transliteration: yāh Phonetic Pronunciation: yaw
Jah, the sacred
name: - Jah, the Lord, most vehement.
—Strong's
Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary
Let’s
look at the names in a sentence. Yeh-ho-vaw' (the) self-Existent or Eternal the
Lord, most vehement, showing or caused by strong feeling; forceful: ardent(1 eager; zealous; fervent; passionate 2burning…
...[intense, keen, enthusiastic, avid, fierce, earnest, sincere]) see impassioned:
deeply felt: ardent, soulful, vehement, intense, animated (lively, vigorous-having life) fiery (consisting of or flaming with
fire, like fire in appearance:… …bright red, hot, burning, spirited,
burning, blazing, afire, on fire, ablaze 2 glowing incandescent, glaring, gleaming
3red hot, white hot, overheated, 4 eager, passionate, fierce) inflamed.El-o-heem Plural mighty; especially the Almighty supreme
God [implying trinity].
And the Lord
God [Yeh-ho-vaw' El-o-heem] gives me His name, and the name “Yah” is only found in the King James in one place.
Psalms 68:4-6
(NKJV)
4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name YAH, And rejoice before
Him.
5 A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy
habitation.
6 God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who
are bound into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
When I pray
personally I many times address God as “Abba Father, Poppa Yah” or “Abba
Father Poppa God.”
When I found
this name again when putting this study together it moved me to tears again. This
is the name God is giving to mankind and to Adam as God begins to speak to us through His word.
Genesis 2:4
(KJV)
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that [Yeh-ho-vaw'
El-o-heem] the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Genesis 2:5
(KJV)
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for [Yeh-ho-vaw'
El-o-heem] the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
Genesis 2:6
(KJV)
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
It seems that
at this time that there was no rain until Noah. There was a canopy over the earth
that caused the earth to be one temperature around the earth. This goes along
with the breaking up of the deep that we read about during the flood.
Genesis 2:7
(KJV)
7 And [Yeh-ho-vaw' El-o-heem] the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
[formed man]
Hebrew: yatsar (HSN-<H3335>), to mold or squeeze into shape as a potter does (Gen. 2:7,19; 2Ki. 19:25; Ps. 94:9; 95:5; Isa. 45:18). The body was formed but the soul and spirit (the inner man) was created (Gen. 1:26-27; 5:1-2).
[dust of the
ground] Hebrew: `aphar (HSN-<H6080>), mud, rubbish. Translated earth (Gen. 26:15); dust (Gen. 2:7; 3:19); ashes (Num. 19:17; 2Ki. 23:4); ground (Job 14:8); morter (Lev. 14:42,45); powder (2Ki. 23:6,15); and rubbish (Neh. 4:2,10).
[breathed] Hebrew:
naphach (HSN-<H5301>), to breathe out, puff, inflate, blow hard (Gen. 2:7; Ezek. 37:9).
[breath] Hebrew:
neshamah (HSN-<H5397>), breath -- air inhaled and exhaled, respiration (Gen. 2:7; 7:22; Job 33:4; 37:10; Isa. 2:22; 30:33; 42:5).
[life] Hebrew:
chayim (HSN-<H2416>), lives. This breath of lives made body, soul, and spirit live
and function together.
So God forms
man out of the dust of the earth then creates a living soul by breathing into nostrils.
Man is a physical frame with a conciseness that is above the animal kingdom that is in the likeness of God. Man is also alive spiritually. When God breathed into his
nostrils man became a living being. Man was formed with a consciousness the same
as the animals but man was given something more. Man is alive spiritually. Man was given capacities that animals do not have… ….He is God conscious,
he is self-conscious, he is free from instinct, he doesn’t have an instinct to fly south in the winter, MB, Snowbirds
choose to fly south. We can appreciate beauty.
Created in the likeness of God, with the ability to worship God and the ability to fellowship with God, “God commanded the man, saying”… …man
was created with full understanding and communication abilities. Because he was
created in God’s image, he could understand concepts and language.
Another way
to say the same thing is this: Vegetation (plant life) lives, but it is inanimate.
Animals live,
but they are only animate or soulish creatures. They are not spiritual creatures;
they do not have the breath or spirit of God within them; they do not worship God.
Man lives, but
he is both an animate and a spiritual creature. Man is both soul and spirit. Man is an animal, a soulish creature, but he is also a spiritual creature, a creature
who worships God. Man is made both of earth and of heaven.
This is the
distinctiveness of man. Man is the summit of God's creation: the creature that
possesses both soul and spirit. He is the creature who has been given the very
breath of God, the very spirit and life of God Himself.
Man is the creature
who has been created both of earth and of heaven.
Man is the creature
who can choose to live either for the earth or for God.
Genesis 2:8
(KJV)
8 And [Yeh-ho-vaw' El-o-heem] the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had
formed.
Eden would have
been eastward from where God had created Adam. We do not know were Eden was because
the face of the earth has been changed since then. The earth has been changed
during the breaking up of the deep in Noah’s time and the time of Peleg.
Genesis 10:25
(KJV)
25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's
name was Joktan.
This goes along
with some of the latest theories like the continental drift.
Peleg: this
son's name mean's division or to divide. Note the statement made about him: "during
his life the earth was divided.” What does this mean? One suggestion is the following explanations:
It refers to
some catastrophic volcanic eruption that divided the earth into continents and islands.
The earth is thought to have been one huge land mass. This huge volcanic
eruption is thought to have taken place during Peleg's life, right after the Tower of Babel judgment when God scattered and separated the human races over the
earth (Genesis 11:1-9).
—Preacher's
Outline and Sermon Bible - Commentary
Between the
flood and the division if we are, understanding the division It is impossible to determine the location of Eden.
Genesis 2:9
(KJV)
9 And out of the ground made [Yeh-ho-vaw' El-o-heem] the LORD God to
grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the
tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Every tree that
is pleasant to the sight, and good for food.
The LORD God
put man in Eden with premeditated though in creating man of what man would touch, see, hear, smell, and taste. Thank about the greatest garden you have ever been in. Where
would this be for you? For me that would be Longwood Gardens. Think about the sites, sounds, and smells. Remember how you
touched the bark and remember the texture. Think about the redwoods and the pines
that reach the sky in up state NY. Think about crisp apples and oranges that
drip down your chin. Think about hazel nuts and walnuts and strawberries. Not only have we seen and touched and tasted and smelled and heard the sound as we
cracked open a walnut or heard the sound of biting into a fresh apple. We were
created to remember and picture these things.
It took forty
years for me to figure out what the smile was in my grandmother’s house when I walked into the house I was home. It was 50 years of canning in the basement.
With words, we can communicate this to others. I can smell spring and
summer and winter and fall. My mind and your mind can picture these things with
our eyes open.
Genesis 2:10
(KJV)
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
Genesis 2:11
(KJV)
11 The name
of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Genesis 2:12
(KJV)
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
Genesis 2:13
(KJV)
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
Genesis 2:14
(KJV)
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
The feeling
that I get from these 4 verses is that it written by an actual eyewitness of the rivers and surroundings. Adam may have written this himself.
Some have tried
to state where these rivers are today. Again, that would be impossible because
the face of the earth has changed. As far as the names being the same, the names
were remembered such as the Tigris or Euphrates because some rivers in the post-flood world may have been named after familiar
pre-flood rivers by Noah and his sons. The city of Philadelphia would be an example
of a name that has been reused.
Genesis 2:15
(KJV)
15 And [Yeh-ho-vaw' El-o-heem] the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to
keep it.
I remember when
I was young how my dad came home all excited because he had 9 chicken coops full of manure that we were going to shovel out
and put on our garden. And it was free chicken manure.
I’m sorry
but I was not excited as a kid for the free chicken manure. Let me tell you something
though, my dad was excited because he say the 11/2 and 2 inch tomatoes that would be 5 and 6-inch tomatoes. He had a vision, he had a goal. He knew about horticulture.
My dad’s efforts would be seen by all.
All that I remembered
was how the dust caused my eyes to seal shut in the morning. I produced by the
sweat of my face. Thanks God for the tomatoes, thanks Adam for the sweat. That summer I caught the vision when I sold 5 and 6-inch tomatoes door to door. I made money from the surplus. My daddy
was proud of the tomatoes and me.
At this time
Adam is given work to do. Work with out sweat, work without weeds and thorns,
work that would produce one tomato that would be a meal with leftovers. Adam
would have had the same joy as my dad.
Now, can you
imagine, this is still the first day of Adam’s life. This is still before
Eve. Adam has four rivers to go fishing.
Imagine nuzzling a lion and putting your fingers into his mane as Lucy did to Aslan.
Adam is having
a one on one conversation with the LORD God [Yeh-ho-vaw' El-o-heem] the one who just made him and just gave him the world. Once Eve is created, both Adam and Eve will have the premeditated and thought out
design of touch and sight and hearing and smell and taste. You and I can hold
and touch our babies’ feet and hands, see our babies eyes grow clear and recognizing us.
We can smell there hair and hear them sigh. We can also remember and picture
these things with our eyes open. We have these things by the premeditated design
of Yeh-ho-vaw' El-o-heem, Why? So that your joy might be shaken down like flour
in a measuring cup then pressed together and then filled to over flowing.
Genesis 2:16
(KJV)
16 And [Yeh-ho-vaw' El-o-heem] the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely
eat:
Genesis 2:17
(KJV)
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die.
Man is given
all. He is given only one restriction, don’t eat of that one. Literally, dying thou shalt surely die. The death process
will begin the day you eat of that fruit. It was really two deaths, spiritual
death and the beginning of physical death.
Why would God
put the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden? God created man in
His image. God gave to man a free will.
There are two things that you have. You can choose to love God or hate
God. You have the power of choice, and the power to choose your own destiny.
You can choose to have God a part of your life or decide to reject having God
a part of your life. You can choose to except his leading or to reject His leading. You can serve your own self or serve God. God
has given to us the power of choice. We were given freedom, the freedom to choose.
What value would
it be to have a freedom of choose if you were not able to choose or if your choice were not respected? If I didn’t have any thing to choose then I would not have a power of choice. I would not be a free agent of my choices.
In order for
the power of choice to be meaningful God had to give a choice. God had to give
a choice to follow His words or reject His words. God made one choice one restriction.
My power of
choice is what makes me more then a robot. What is a robot? A robot is a created machine that is programmed to respond to input from a controller. God did not want robots and He did not create us as robots, because robots can not give love.
I don’t
have to worship Him and I don’t have to love Him. I choose to worship Him
and I choose to love Him. When I choose to love Him it is meaningful because
it’s a choice. I’m not responding to input from a controller.
If God is fair
and just then God must respect the choice I make. When I make a choice God in
turn respects the choice I make. If we make a choice to not follow God He honors
that choice.
People ask,
How can a loving God send people to hell? God doesn’t send anybody to hell.
He never has and He never will. Man
goes there by there own choice. If I choose to not be with God or follow God,
He honors that choice.
Man was given
a magnificent opportunity to respond, to love, and show appreciation to God. He
could have chosen God, chosen to live with God and to love, worship, and fellowship with God.”
Genesis 2:18
(KJV)
18 And [Yeh-ho-vaw' El-o-heem] the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an
help meet for him.
This is the
first time, God saw something that was not good. God saw the aloneness of Adam. God never did intended for man to be alone, not in the marital or in the social sense.
I will make
him an help meet for him (KJV)
A Helper meet
(suitable, adapted, completing) (Amplified)
A companion
. . . a helper suited to his needs (Living)
A helper such
as he needs (Beck)
A helper correspondent
to himself (Septuagint Bible)
A helper suitable
(NIV, NASB)
God created
woman to be a suitable helper to Adam. The agenda God gave to Adam. He and the woman together would work to fulfill it.
God gives to
man the responsibility (and the accountability) to be answerable in the home and the leader in the home and gives to the woman
the responsibility and the accountability to help him.
When we get
to Chapter 3 the women will see that this is a blessing, for it was Adam that was held responsible for the fall not Eve.
When we see
“helping” as a position of inferiority we may be thinking as the world thinks.
God considers aaposition of service as most important in His sight, and He sees us all as the bride. (Matthew 20:25-28).
A helper comparable:
Not only was the woman to be a helper for Adam. She was also made comparable
to Adam. She should be considered and honored as such. Eve was made an equal partner in God’s grace and an equal human being. She would be suitable intellectually, morally, and physically -- as his counterpart.
Genesis 2:19
(KJV)
19 And out of the ground [Yeh-ho-vaw' El-o-heem] the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of
the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that
was the name thereof.
Genesis 2:20
(KJV)
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam
there was not found an help meet for him.
God is now showing
Adam his great need for woman, for a companion just like himself. Despite Adam’s
authority over the animal world, he still had no companion like himself, no companion with his nature.
I believe God
is showing Adam his great need for woman and a companion like himself. Picture
Adam studying and observing the animals. As he studies and names the animals
at some point it dawns on Adam that every living animal has a companion just like itself—except him. God needs to create a companion for him.
I believe God
was creating a longing and a desirer for one who would be just like himself, a companion with his very own nature. For women came both from God's hand and from man's very own body.
She was of the very same spiritual being as Adam and of the very same physical being as Adam. She was both of God and of man.
Genesis 2:21
(KJV)
21 And [Yeh-ho-vaw' El-o-heem] the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one
of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
What did God
take from Adam’s side to make Eve? We really don’t really know. Every cell in our body contains the body’s entire genetic blueprint. Apparently God took some of Adam’s cells and changed their genetic blueprint in the creation of Eve.
Adam was first - the source and the head.
Women was created to be a helper perfectly suited to him and out of Him. Thus
the subordinate relationship of wives to husbands is found before the curse, not only after it.
Genesis 2:22
(KJV)
22 And the rib, which [Yeh-ho-vaw' El-o-heem] the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her
unto the man.
God brought her to the Adam. God
brought women to Adam and created women out of Adam.
Woman's creation
is a picture of the closeness, a great companionship, that God desires between a husband and a wife as they live and work
together upon earth. Woman came out of man's need. Therefore, she was to come "out of man's" being. Woman was
made out of man's being in order to cause a natural clinging, a reaching out for one another's own being, one another's own
flesh. Therefore, she was made out of the very flesh of man so that man and woman
would have identical natures and be able to stand as the counterpart to one another.
"So ought men
to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as
the Lord the church" (Ephes. 5:28-29).
Genesis 2:23
(KJV)
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was
taken out of Man.
Genesis 2:23
(KJV)
23 And Adam said, This is now bone [(`atsam); a bone (as strong); by extension the body; figurative the substance,
i.e. (as pronoun) selfsame :- body, bone, × life,] of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: [from <H1319> (basar); flesh
(from its freshness); by extension body, person; also (by euphemism) the pudenda of a man :- body, [fat, lean] flesh [-ed],
kin, [man-] kind, + nakedness, self, skin. <H1319> a primitive root; properly to be fresh, i.e. full (rosy, figurative
cheerful); to announce (glad news)] she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
I will not write
or explain what the Vines Commentary gave as a definition for this word except to say it most diffidently had sexual connotations
attached.
Adam was very,
very pleased. Women had eyes like his and skin like his and some new parts he
had to check out for sure. Adam was so pleased that he gave her a name that was
so endearing that Jesus used the same name when addressing His mother. He named
her Ishshah.
Woman: Hebrew
'ishshah (HSN-<H802>), feminine of 'iysh (HSN-<H376>), man. Literally, "womb-man" or "female-man", because she was taken
out of man (1Cor. 11:3-12; 1Tim. 2:9-15).
Genesis 2:24
(KJV)
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one
flesh.
Cleave: a primitive
root; properly to impinge, i.e. cling or adhere; figurative to catch by pursuit :- abide fast, cleave (fast together), follow
close (hard after), be joined (together)—Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary
Genesis 2:25
(KJV)
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Let’s
me read Genesis 2:22 one more time
Genesis 2:22
(KJV)
22 And the rib, which [Yeh-ho-vaw' (the) self-Existent … Eternal… the Lord, most vehement, showing or
caused by strong feeling; forceful: ardent(1 eager; zealous; fervent; passionate …burning [intense, keen, enthusiastic,
avid, fierce, earnest, sincere])… impassioned: deeply felt: ardent, soulful,
vehement, intense, animated (lively, vigorous-having life) fiery (consisting of or flaming with fire, like fire in appearance:
bright red, hot, burning, spirited, burning, blazing, afire, on fire, ablaze 2 glowing incandescent, glaring, gleaming 3 red hot, white hot, overheated, 4 eager, passionate, fierce) inflamed… …El-o-heem
[being Plural] …mighty; especially of the Almighty supreme God] had taken from man,[the rib] and made he a woman, and
brought her unto the man.
And Yeh-ho-vaw
El-o-heem wants us to love as He loves.
