Sorry I don’t really follow the significance of Pinklights observations. I don’t see how God in making Eve a woman detracts from the significance of Adam naming her.

Hi gazza,

Your premise is under question. Did Adam even “name” woman is the question. And it is the question because she was already designated as woman before she was brought to the man whereas on the other hand the animals were NOT designated as tigers, lions and bears before they were brought to the man. If Adam didn’t even “name” her then he couldn’t of had authority over her when he named her if by naming her implied that he had authority over her. And then giving her the proper name “Eve” after the fall is another story. Also still needs to be considered if naming in the garden was even an act of authority since Adam had no authority over the animals when he named them because he wasn’t even given any authority over them untell after the woman was created when both were given authority over the animals. There’s alot to consider. And then there’s this claim about “Hebrew culture” which needs to be addressed. I’ll wait for Cheryl on that one. Did Adam and Eve even speak Hebrew??
