RE: The language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis 2, DTube Video #3
It is so interesting that in Gen 1:27 we read that Elohim “Creates” man (Adam) on the 6th day and then in Gen2:7 , on the 8th day, the day after Shabbat, that YHVH “Forms” man (Adam) by breathing life into him.
Many things are repeated throughout the Tahakh, once for when in relation to other events and the second to emphasize and add more detail. Also note that the first time, "...created man, male and female he created them." We cannot put God in a box and pretend that he does things as we do.
He also created vegetation and later caused it to come forth and sprout. Your comment raises a constant that is seen through Exodus, Leviticus, and on, that being the repetition which is part of the writings in general. Good point.
Yes.... It also shows where the idea of an Elohist versus yhvhist writer comes from .....
