A university professor assured that, according to his research, the Genesis translations were not correct.He affirms that God created Eve, not from the rib but from Adam's penis .Many Christian groups have reacted furiously.
Adan's rib could have been another part of his body...
The statement comes from a book called «What really happened in the garden of Eden? » by Professor Ziony Zevit of the American Jewish University in Maryland .The book was published in 2013 , although it has recently resurfaced following a review in the September/October issue of the Biblical Archeology Review.
The theory came to Zevit after translating and studying the Hebrew text of Adam and Eve in the history of the Old Testament Genesis .Zevit believes that the Hebrew word "tsela" is not translated as "rib", but that it can be understood in the sense of «branches that leave towards the sides of a human body in an upright position.»
As men and women really we have the same amount of ribs (and any other limb that could stand out, for that matter), Zevit therefore believes that the ancient Israelites tried to refer to the human penis, which now has no bone .
Human males are one of the few species of mammals that do not have a baculum (a bone in the penis).Bears, bats, cats, walruses and even our closest living relative, the chimpance, they have the bone.
Much of the modern Bible study tries to use language, poetics, linguistics and literary theory to understand how stories were perceived in their context or original.
Despite this, many have taken Zevit's claim as a great offense and wanted to cancel their subscription to the magazine, claiming that those they are not the teachings of the Bible, and that such articles give faith.Other critics have taken the theory as compelling, ridiculous or extravagant .What do you think?
Is it possible that Adam and Eve existed in reality, and beyond the Bible? We tell you in the following article
