Genesis 1:26 Male and Female humans were created simultaneously by the Elohim.
Genesis 2:7 Yahweh formed Adam from the wet dust and gave him the neshemah.
2 different "men" we're "created"
Post by twetch#2611
Now that u mention it, it seems like genesis 1 and 2 have contradiction. Genesis 1 male and female are created simultaneously while Genesis 2 male first.
2 different "men" we're "created"? Im confused

Genesis 1:26 is not Adam.
They are the offspring of many Gods.
Genesis 2:7 is Adam.
He is the offspring of יהוה.
Google the difference between The Lord God and God.
Elohim vs Yahweh.
Some articles also said: in bible, God, Lord God, all refers to same one entity, the words variety is just to point different personalities of the same entity. Lord God is used when in affectionate mode with man, while God is the poker face/neutral mode.
Here's what i got from Quora discussion and your previous twetch:
Lord God = Yahweh. Lord also mean Master, because He is the creator of Adam?
Elohim is a collection of Gods, including Yahweh?
Now try reading the two verses with a Lexicon.
Search:
Gen : Lexicon
When you find any special words that pop out, check the Hebrew definition.
What is the "breath of life?"
To breath = nasham (to pant)
Life = chayah (to life).
I assume, so the breath of life in Hebrew also means: panting/gasping to life in english.
This searching format "Gen : Lexicon" is really super handy. Thank you for sharing it. It really makes it easier for me to learn Hebrew language. And in Genesis 1 it really said Elohim, while on Genesis 2 it's Yahweh. Lexington helps to compare things
I feel like i found an entrance to a rabbit hole, a new WHOLE way to look/read bible. I always had vague feeling bible is a lot more than simple child-reading story like priests suggested. Have been to different churches but none discusses bible like this.
hi Ray, can i ask u some questions again? every time i read Bible there's always questions arises, though i prefer to think it on my own first for some times. for now there are some questions i would ask, can i?
In Genesis 11:1-9 about people that created tall tower, then is it refering to people of Adam that have breath of life or offspring of many Gods?
