Letters from Eden
I have gotten the man that Yahweh promised
A letter to Eve. If Yahweh saw that you needed a partner, what kind of partner was standing beside you in the garden?

Dear Eve,
Did you ever think that maybe Yahweh literally promised you a man because He saw the need for you to have a partner in your life?
Based on what has been presented in most Bibles, it seems you needed an attentive man. As you spoke to the snake, Adam stood next to you but did not engage in the conversation you were having. Adam did not object, ask questions, or ask for a contract to be drawn.
After you gave Adam the fruit, he did not object or ask you what happened. Adam immediately blamed you. Adam, it appears, was not a team player or a leader. Adam could have foreseen that questions were going to be raised, and the two of you could have presented a united front. But no. Adam did not blame the snake either. Adam blamed you.
Maybe Adam's loyalty was to the snake.
This is the kind of reading we practise at Nopa Foundation. Not to accuse anyone, but to notice what the text actually says, and to sit with what it leaves unsaid.
