Word Study "RIB" as used in Genesis 2:21-22Rib - Strong # 6763 (Hebrew = tslea) Normally translated as side, corner, chamber or flank not rib We wonder why would translators choose to translate a word as rib since Young's Analytical Concordance shows that the other 41 times it it used it is translated as side, corner, chambers or flank. It seems unimportant until one realizes that the blood and water came from the side of the second Adam and by His death, we live. In God's Word to Women Katharine Bushnell says that the originator of the "rib" theory was Rabbi Joshua, who wrote, "God deliberated from what member He would create woman, and He reasoned within Himself thus: I must not create her from Adam's head, for she would be a proud person, and hold her head high. If I create her from the eye, then she will wish to pry into things; if from the ear, then she will wish to hear all things; if from the mouth she will talk much; if from the heart, she will envy people; if from the head, she will desire to make all things; if from the feet, she will be a gadabout. Therefore, I will create her from the member which is hid, that is the rib, which is not even seen when man is naked." (1) We can thank Charles Trombley for stating the case, as follows, in his book
Who Said Women Can't Teach. "The Bible says God made her from man's
side, but Jewish fables said she was made from his rib." Notes |
