Reading Notes: Bible Women, Reading A

My two favorite stories were Eve and Sarah. This was found in Bible Women by Laura Gibbs and original text from rom King James Bible. 




(Adam and Eve; Web Source: Wikimedia)

Eve: 

God ordered Adam to not eat from the tree of knowledge.  God said to eat from every other tree. God gave him animals, and he named them. What names? I could add some here. Adam fell asleep, and he took out part of his ribs and made him Eve. How does he know what a father and women were already? They were naked, and it was fine. The serpent wanted Eve to disobey God's orders to not eat from the tree and was saying that she could get knowledge if she ate from it. She ate the fruit, and gave Adam it too. They made themselves aprons because they were ashamed and aware of being naked now. I could talk more about consequences here as well. God got mad, and Eve said serpent made me do it. God was like you are cursed because he said that Eve would bring children when they are sad and man would rule over her. Adam will have to work hard and sweat to get food.  Why was Eve so tempted for this apple? I will try to recreate this story with something more tasty. She is enticed by knowledge, but she just got created. How does she know that knowledge is so valuable? I would want it to be more realistic in today's standards like something that tastes good such as Oreo Cookies. Nowadays, if someone said that it was a tree of knowledge, then I don't know how many people would eat the apple. 


Sarah: 

Abraham told Sarah to make food. He got food and ate with a young man. He was like where is your wife? His wife made all of this food, and he didn't even invite her to sit with him? I would be salty. He was like you and Sarah will have a kid even though you are old. She thought this was funny because they were both old. I wonder how old. I am assuming it's not unrealistic if she hadn't had menopause. God gave them a son, Isaac. Isaac had a circumcision and they had a party after he was weaned.
