Bible Stories are interested not only deeply religious people, but also those who are important to know about the alternative course of events, the creation of the world and man.After all, the school told by Darwin's theory of the origin of man, and about how God created a man and a woman, often do not report students.Only the inquisitive boys and girls can learn about it from parents or believers of this article.So today you will learn how God created woman, and who was the first person in the world.The article provides two versions of the origin of women, one of them - the official, the other - the legendary, mythological, but actively supported by researchers of the Bible.
Adam
Probably not such people who do not like to hear that the first people on earth were Adam and Eve.Associated with them, and Paradise and the Fall, they were the first people and the first sinners.The Bible says that God created the first human beings in the image and likeness.But this does not mean that people necessarily resemble God.This means that a person has the mind, will, emotions, and the desire for truth - so say the clergy.First, Adam was created "from the dust of the earth," God breathed life into him.Adam, he settled in the beautiful garden of Eden, called, or Paradise.It was the first man to take care of flowers and trees, care for animals and birds, to give them names.
Birth of Eve
Each animal had a couple, and then Adam was alone, and the Bible says he was sad by this.Then God decided to create a couple, and for the first man.Parable, God created woman says that God brought upon Adam a deep sleep, took a rib out of his chest, and from it created the woman.Adam woke up and found next to his mate, was very happy.He called her Eve, which means "life."Further, the Bible says that the first man and woman loved and helped each other throughout.
So, how and why God created woman, became clear.However, there is an alternative version of the Biblical events.
first woman in the world
Genesis (the first book about the creation of the world) says that "God created man in His own image, in the image of God he created him;male and female he created them. "This equal treatment of men and women, many researchers are interpreted as follows: Adam was created not one God created a wife for him once, about which the Bible does not mention later.
Oddly enough, this version is actively supported by many.The first woman is not called Eve and Lilith, created from the dust, like Adam.This version comes in many apocryphal (ie, not recognized by the official church) works.That's how God created a woman according to the unofficial version.And why did Lilith know nothing?
Mutiny on the ship
Legend says that Lilith and Adam lived happily until the woman did not want equality.She refused to submit to her husband, Adam, and therefore renounced his first wife.Lilith flew away from Adam, and became the wife of Satan.Three angel sent by God, trying to get her back to Eden, but she refused.Subsequently, Lilith became a demon, her frightened little children, according to legend.
But Adam, being unhappy and lonely, asked God to create for him a wife who would be respected, valued and loved it.So there was Eve, not Adam equitable, but created from his rib.
According to the researchers, the legend of Lilith as the first woman in the world - is true.However, the official church had to hide it, because Lilith is not a model of humility and purity of the Christian expect.
Now you know two versions of how God created woman.Which one to prefer - take your pick.And the fact that one of them official, church, and the second - the apocryphal legendary - it's a fact.
image of Lilith in the arts
should say a few words about what Lilith is repeatedly used in the art because of its mystery and mystique.For example, in the "Faust" by Goethe Lilith shows Adam's first wife, alluring temptress:
first wife of Adam.
entire suite of her braids.
Beware of her hair ...
in Russian poetry can also be found the name of Lilith, for example, in the poem "Eve and Lilith" Gumilev:
Lilith - towering crown of constellations,
diamond in her country the sun rising:
AndEve - and children, and a flock of sheep,
potatoes in the garden and in the house style.
In painting as Lilith does not occur again: M. Yushin, Stanislav Krupp, Frank Obermeyer and many others use to create the legend of his paintings devoted to this woman-demon.
