Genesis 1:26 & 2:7 godS and Adam the Golem?
I am no minister, I am not ordained and I am trying my best not to put ideas in anyones heads, just pointing out some things I find interesting. So today we look at the book of Genesis in the Christian Holy Bible.
First thing is background on what a "Golem" is. In Jewish mysticism, based around the Kabbalah or "tradition' said to be handed down from Adam. A Golem is a creature or monster cast in the shape of man. shaped from clay, mud or dust. Brought to life by the word "Truth" in Hebrew.
So let us look at Genesis 2:7 NIV
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being
Adam was nothing dust in the shape of a man until the spirit entered his body? Interesting.
A closer look in Hebrew shows Lord as Yahweh, who we know as the "Jealous God of Israel" but God reads Elohim, which is the plural of El(Power). There's also an "Et" in the Hebrew verse that's excluded from the English translations, Et is referring to a definite object, item or thing but has no direct translation in English.
When we take a look at Genesis 1:26 we see more us of plurals in this story
Then God(Elohim) said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness....."
