Genesis 2

[matika29]

Ish and Isha are made out of one bone and flesh. When God formed Isha out of Ish I believe Isha was already created because creation was finished after 6 days. She only needs to be fromed but not created otherwise it would mean that Isha was created on a eg 8 day and I alway struggle with the translation for the woman which means out of mean as a helper. Is this word not better be translated as counterpart or suitable counterpart because Adam realised that there are alway two animials who belong together only he was two in one he was not seperated. What do you investigate in Hebrew about this matter?

This thread would better belong in the Non-Bibleworks forum.

Thanks Joe. I second that, though I don't think my "second" is necessary

This passage is of the 6th day.
Genesis 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

Genesis 2:7 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.

God is telling us what he did on the 6th day.
There is the spirit world and the world that we stand in.
