Old Testament

General

Genesis

Note the difference in the creation story in Chapter 1 (v 27) versus that in Chapter 2 (v21-22). In chapter 1, the implication is of co-equal creation, rather than the familiar Adam, then Eve order in chapter 2. In the Talmud (ancient Hebrew commentaries), the rabbis say this first woman is ‘Lilith’. But she became wicked and was removed by God. This Lilith is the origin of the ‘Lilith Fair’ women artist concert series.

Daniel

the phrase ‘son of man’ originates here.
