Adam’s family jewel

“And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and He took the bone of Adam’s penis and made him a woman.” !

Ngawi lawk teh, Pathian khan Evi kha a nakruh atangin a ni lawm ni asiam? 

American Jewish University, Los Angeles a Semitic language professor, Ziany Zevit chuan, “a nilo” a ti mauh mai le! A ni chuan, Hebrew tawnga ‘tsela’ tih hi Nak (side) tihna, Nak-ruh (rib) anga lehlin ni thin chu Genesis hi chuan Adama zahmawh a sawina a ni zuk ti tlat pek a.

Zevit, author of the forthcoming What Really Happened in the Garden of Eden?, argues that, etiologically, “rib” doesn’t make much sense in a story pregnant with sexual innuendo; nor is there precedent in ancient Near Eastern mythology for it to feature as an instrument of creation. Instead,tsela was likely a euphemism for the baculum, or “penis bone,” found in the males of most mammals. The Bible uses various euphemisms for male genitalia but never a specific word: two of them, “bone” and “flesh,” in the pertinent verse may be double entendres when Adam welcomes Eve as “bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh” (Gen. 2:23).
