“God said, “Let us make human beings.” (Gen 1:26a)
When God made animals, he saw to it that they could produce
offspring of the same kind. (Gen. 1:24-25)
Now it was time to make human beings, and God created them in His
image. (Gen. 1:27) The first human was Adam – Adam means soil or earth, so call him
dirt-boy. God breathed life into the dirt.
“Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone –
I will make him a helper who is just right for him.” (Gen 2:18)
The helper God created was Chava, which means life. Today we call
her Eve.
“Life” is a good name for Adam’s perfect mate, because now, just
like the animals, they could produce offspring – new life, made in God’s image.
That was God’s plan.
Then God looked over all that he had made, and saw that it was
very good! (Gen. 1:31a)
