Genesis 1.26, 2.7, etc. revisited

Six Words: Justice, Bite, Presidential, Chain, Order, Suite

On day six, Adam and Chava were created (Chava is the name that Adam gives to the Woman in Genesis 3:20. In Hebrew, Chava is only three letters. Chava gets translated to Eve because of the way it is spelled in Hebrew, חוה. The root of the word Chava is Chai, which means “life”. Adam says that Chava is the mother of all life.). They were given a sort of presidential suite as a home. Not bad for a starter home. There was just one rule to follow. There was a standing order not to bite into the fruit of one special tree. But they were young and lacking in wisdom. Obeying orders did not come naturally. So of course they bit. Thus began a chain of events that included them losing their home and becoming homeless. The free food and lodging ended. As punishment, only by the sweat of the Man’s brow would they get food. But Woman, the bearer of children, would have hardship in bearing those children. What do you think? Is that justice?
