pinklight,

You said:

If Adam had not spoken at the sight of her, she still would have been exactly what 1:22 says she was – a woman. She still would have been what God created – a woman. Adam’s recognition doesn’t change a thing and if he hadn’t said a word, that still wouldn’t have changed a thing because she was already identified in 1:22.

You are exactly right! God’s identification of the woman was all that was really needed. God already showed that He created her from Adam’s flesh and bone and that she was called woman. There is nothing that is added by Adam’s words except for the fact that he accepted her as his own. Other than that we know nothing more about the woman then we did in verse 22.

You are constantly helping us to keep sharp on the text. Good going!
