Gen 2

		Gen 2:7 Breathe into nostrils suggests close activity. There is mention of anger, consequently we can assume that this was not a passive action/movement
Why is the phrase "created he him" used and not "created he them", which is consistent with both verse 26 and 28?	The phrase speaks to sequence. However, the introduction of the punctuation mark of a colon is a translation error. It is misplaced. The colon should have been placed  at the word “created”.	Gen 1:27
	There are some trees that are poisonous, however pre-fall this was not the case.	Gen 1:29 Adams food was the entire tree. It seems safe to assume that he could even eat the bark and leaves of the tree.
Why is the order of heavens and earth reversed in the last part of the verse.		2:4
What does the land animals represent	Since all animals represent Kingdoms or kings in prophecy, it seems safe to assume that if this story is placed in a prophetic setting, the land animals would represent a type of kingdom or king on Earth. It would take more study to definitely say which king or kingdom this was referring to.
		Gen 2:7 Breathe into nostrils suggests close activity. There is mention of anger, consequently we can assume that this was not a passive action/movement
What is the significance of the land animal being so close to man?		2: 8 & 10
What is the meaning of Eden	Eden means pleasure.	The entire Earth was to be a delightful place. Consequently; God referred to Earth as Eden. It is clear that the new Earth was meant to be pleasurable. This place was supposed to be God's most special place. We can infer the application of  the Holy and Most holy places of the sanctuary. The earth being the holy and the garden being the most holy.
		2:10 The word used for garden is "gan"
		2:9 This verse seems to suggest that both the tree of good and evil and the tree of life were in the midst of the garden and in close vicinity of each other.
What is eastward?	Seems to suggest front part, rather than direction.	2:8
		2:9 God planted fruit trees in the garden. The garden probably had other tress in it prior to the placement of fruit trees in the garden.
		2:4-14 These verses give the details of day 3. We know that everything was done in 6 literal days, however these verses goes into detail of how the thing which was done was done.
Why is there a difference between the care of the trees in the earth vs the care of the trees in the garden?	This is again another point that there was a difference between the care of the earth and the care of God’s special Garden.	2:6 & 10 The trees in the garden were watered by the river, however the trees in the rest of the Earth were watered by a mist.
		2:15 Given that Adam was placed in the garden, it seems reasonable to assume that he was not there before. Consequently, it seems that Adam went to and from the garden, similar as we do with church today.  It seems the garden was the place that Adam met with God.
		The garden was not only the place of Adam’s work, but it was also the place for his special communing with God.
From who, or from what was Adam supposed to be protecting the garden?	I guess from sin.	Adam’s first job of dressing and keeping the garden involved training and shaping the plants. Although it was un-necessary at the time, his job description also included protecting the garden.
		2:16 God invites Adam to eat of the tress of the garden. He could eat of any tree in the whole earth, however God gave him permission to also eat of the fruit trees of the garden. Note this is God's special garden, God’s special fruit trees. God was just being a God of love and sharing His trees with Adam. Adam could eat of every tree except one.
		2:16This is why the sin of eating from the tree was so horrendous. The only tree God saved for himself as special was the very tree that they went and ate from. Notwithstanding they had all the other trees to eat from, they ate from God’s special (forbidden) tree.
Given that no details were given about the trees in the garden which could be eaten, does that mean that all trees in the garden were good for food?		2:16 the only tree prohibited was the tree of good and evil, which was in the garden
		2:17 It is said that Adam and Eve did not understand death, so they likened it unto total separation from God. i.e. how the second death is still defined. (die by death, as if there was any other way to die)
Why was man made?	The perfect role of man could only be observed in a perfect world. His purpose was honorable. Creation was meant to highlight this, however after man sinned this could not be done.	2:18 Man was to play an integral part of completing perfection. Without him everything that was made would not be perfect.
Looking at it as a type, are we to understand that man was the help-meet of God? i.e. Given that he was placed in the garden of God to keep it and to dress it; did God need a special helper to keep His Garden?	Although this seems like a logical conclusion the argument is without foundation. God does not need help for anything.	We can infer that God saw that Lucifer would sin and be consequently kicked out of heaven. Hence God put a plan in place so that when Lucifer left, there would be his replacement. (truth about angel’s quote) Man was Lucifer's replacement. No wonder Lucifer hates us so much
When God declared that it was not good for man to be alone, was he implying something about himself? If so what was he telling us?	If we understand that the man Adam was representing God, this would seem like a logical conclusion, however this conclusion would contradict what we know about the self-sufficiency of God.
		2:19-25 It seems as a part of man’s orientation, God is instructing him and teaching him through the things that are made. It seems that by God bringing the animals to Adam he is familiarizing him with their care; the keep of the garden as well as the  rest of the Earth.
		2:19-25  Adam’s naming of the animals seems to be the installation service of him as king of the Earth, as the animals are brought to him and his wife is brought to him. It seems that all the responsibilities are explained as Adam is showed the different things.
		2:19 The animals were made before the man. And God brings them to him as a part of explaining his job description. In the same way that we are unclear about how Adam dressed and kept the garden, no doubt Adam too was unclear about how to dress and keep it. Thus God used this opportunity to explain this among other thing to Adam.
		2:19 This verse seems to contradict what was stated in chapter 1, but we know that the animals were made before Adam?
		Seems to contradict the origin of birds  as mentioned in these other verses Gen 1:20 and 1 Cor 15:39
how could Adam have named the animals? Was this an experiment?	God puts everything that he makes through a test. But the test is not for the benefit of God, it is for the onlookers.	Man was fully functional. He was fully mature having a vast vocabulary and well developed in all areas. The fact that Adam is able to name all the animals demonstrates that God has made a fully functional intelligent human being.
If the angels saw how God created everything, why couldn’t they have duplicated what God did?	The angels saw how God created everything, this makes them accountable. Rom 1:20 says that this was done so that they are without excuse.  Given this fact however, it seems to imply that man had an excuse to not understand certain things.	Based on scripture we know that man was not around for most of creation, and what was created after him, he slept through it. Consequently, we know that man, unlike the angels did not see how anything was made. Nevertheless, the angels saw how it was done, but they could not do it.
		Eve was not sent just to help. Adam was fully functional, but to fulfil the need of companionship was eve created. There was no reason for Adam to be lonely, since there was God and the animals present, but only Eve could fulfil the need that Adam had. Adam did not feel lonely until the animals were brought to him.
Why was a rib taken? Would it have not left the man imbalanced?	According to videos and medical research ribs grow back if removed properly	2:21 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZVfqvmnViM.
why did Adam have to sleep?	Not only did he/man not have any input in creation, he did not see when anything was created.	2:21 The type is salvation. Man has very little to do with his salvation, and it seems he must be completely surrendered even unto death in order for the lord to bring forth life from him.
Was Adam wounded permanently? In the same way that we bear a navel to be the scar of a cut umbilical chord?	Yes, in the same way that Jesus will bear his scars permanently, it would follow that Adam would have permanently borne the scars of the surgery  needed to bring forth his wife.	2:22
		2:24 From the very first mention of man in verse 19. There is insight to be had about what was happening behind the scene in heaven.  We have yet to uncover what God has revealed.
Why does the scripture record that Eve was brought unto the man? It is clear that she was not where the man was, but where was she coming from? Was she made inside the garden or outside of the garden?	Based on the meaning of the word brought, it seems that Eve was also made on the outside of the garden and presented to man on the inside of the garden.	2:23 This is consistent with the type. The church (bride of Christ) being made in the outer courts and presented to Christ in the inner courts in heaven.
		2:23 This verse confirms that Adam and Eve were related by blood. Not only did they have the same father, but Eve was taken from Adam, having his bones, his blood, his flesh. Often there is question about the origin of Cain’s wife, with the objection that it could not have been his sister because they were related by blood. But here is a verse that confirms that this was the practice at the time. Adam and Eve were involved in what we would today call inter family relationship.
How are we to understand the nakedness of Adam and Eve? If they had light as a covering why does the scripture refer to them as naked? Could it be that sin causes nakedness to appear evil, because prior to the knowledge of evil, the bible does mention that they were both naked, and were not ashamed?	It is commonly said that Adam and Eve were covered by light, but this might just have been the reflection of God. As with Moses.  But the light was not their covering or their clothes.	2:25 Shame is associated with sin, so too is guilt. These feelings only came as a result of sin. It seems that nakedness appears to be sin because of the carnal mind. Before sin the mind was pure and not filled with sinful thoughts.
Prior there is no mention of clothing for Adam and Eve, and God declared everything that he had made very good, so how now after sin they needed clothing?		2:25 it seems their physical appearance did not change, but rather it was their perception that changed after sin, and consequently the need for clothes.
How did Adam know that Woman was taken out of man?	There must have been some discussion prior to Adam going to sleep. Based on the type it seems that Adam willing co-operated with God in the making of his bride.	2:23Note that there were no questions by the man when the woman was presented to him. Instead he made a declaration fully acknowledging that he knew the origin of woman.
		2:24This verse makes it clear that as a result of the previous events, Christ will come and live with us.
What is the leaving and the cleaving?	The rib left Adam's side and then became one.	2:24It is not clear, but there is a type represented here about the process that God used to make woman. The man's bones are reckoned the family and the bone that leaves is the husband/male that leaves to create a new family. A new framework. Consequently, the use of the word "Therefore."
The covering was the lack of knowledge	In the same way that a person can be desensitized to evil and person can be desensitized to good. Because the minds of Adam and Even were pure continually they could not perceive each other's nakedness as something to shun.	2:25Adam and Eve both ate of the fruit, and obtained a knowledge which, had they obeyed God, they would never have had,—an experience in disobedience and disloyalty to God,—the knowledge that they were naked. The garment of innocence, a covering from God, which surrounded them, departed; and they supplied the place of this heavenly garment by sewing together fig-leaves for aprons.CC 17.2
		2:26 being ashamed of one’s nakedness is as a result of the knowledge of "evil". It seems that prior to sin nakedness was not embarrassing. The pure mind would not be defiled in anyway simply because of the presence of nakedness.
