  • Ray Oruand on Genesis 3 - 9 years ago
    " And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: " I am fairly sure that this is an accurate translation. The 'us ' refers to the Elohim, in Babylonian and in Sumerian from which the original Genesis comes , the children of the God Father or the other Gods. The 'sin ' of Eve is that she sought sustenance in the form of knowledge poor Adam seemed satisfied, both with his ignorance and with pushing blame onto Eve. The real 'sin ', however, was avoided with the couple being driven from Eden. That sin would have been eternal life, a crime against the nature of mortals. These stories are neither inspired by nor are they the word of God. They are tales, borrowed by various peoples of Mesopotamia, then transmitted along the trade routes of the Fertile Crescent into the region of Palestine where Semitic tribes had settled. I find the significance to be that human knowledge our culture, our language, our morality is transmitted by the mother to her children. Our ability to manage everyday experiences hunting, farming, animal husbandry, etc. is what the father brings to the table.
