What does Genesis 2:24 mean when it says that a man will leave his parents and cleave to his wife? Does this mean we should abandon our parents for the sake of our wife?

This is what we’re going to talk about in this study of Genesis 2:24.

The Text of Genesis 2:24

Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

In this discussion of Genesis 2:24 we look at:

Various Bible verses that have caused marital strife.
How Genesis 2:24 may not mean what we think it means.
How Genesis 2:24 follows Adam’s statement in Genesis 2:23.
Why leaving parents doesn’t mean abandoning.
Why it is important to cleave to your spouse.

[#33] Genesis 2:20-23 – The Beauty and the Beasts

By Jeremy Myers

22 Comments

People say that a dog is a man’s best friend, but when God sets out to create a partner for Adam, he rejects all the animals in the world, even the dogs. It’s a good thing too, because then God creates the woman.

The creation of the woman is what we are looking at today as we consider Genesis 2:20-23, the Beauty and the Beasts.

The Text of Genesis 2:20-23

So Adam gave names to all the cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

And Adam said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”

In this discussion of Genesis 2:20-23 we look at:

Why the woman is not inferior to the man, even though she is a “helper”
Why God first brings animals to Adam, even though God knows Adam needs a woman.
Why the “rib” was not a rib.
What it meant for God to put Adam into a deep sleep.
How men and Women are equal, side-by-side partners in life.

[#31] Genesis 2:18 – It is Not Good to Be Alone

By Jeremy Myers

11 Comments

So far in Genesis 2, we have seen that God has set up his temple. The temple was finished in Genesis 2:17, which means that beginning with Genesis 2:18, the biblical story really begins.

In Genesis 2:18, we see something foundational for how God wants us to live life, and something shocking about God’s role in that life.

The Text of Genesis 2:18

Genesis 2:18. And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”

In this discussion of Genesis 2:18 we look at:

The first thing in God’s creation that is not good
The first foundational truth about the human experience
What God did about Adam being alone
Seven truths from Genesis 2:18 about loneliness

[#30] Genesis 2:16-17 – The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil

By Jeremy Myers

The Text of Genesis 2:16-17

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.

Why God placed the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden
What the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is.
