Rescuing the 'helper' argument: it's not the word 'ezer' but the whole flow of Genesis 2 -- Eve is made FOR Adam, which Paul interprets as implying leadership in 1 Corinthians 11:7-10.

Reframing the helper argument via the narrative flow

Mike argues the real point isn't the word 'ezer' but the entire passage flow: Eve is made for Adam's sake. Paul picks up on this in 1 Corinthians 11:7-10: 'man was not made from woman but woman from man; neither was man created for woman but woman for man.' Paul reads the whole narrative -- not just one word -- as implying Adam's leadership. Mike will revisit 1 Cor 11 in detail later in the series.
