安蘭老師讀創世記筆記 2章20-24節之 2
2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
2:23 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.
2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh
為甚麼神不像造亞當那樣,再用塵土造一個女人﹖
卻要從亞當身上取一根肋骨造女人﹖
這是要顯明:亞當與夏娃之親密關係。
亞當既稱妻子為骨中的骨,肉中的肉,還有甚麼能比這關係更親密﹖所以“人要離開父母與妻子連合”,這話的重點在人與配偶的關係將取代父母而較父母更親密。
Womb-man成為Woman強調子宮。
女人是在亞當沉睡的時候被造的,神從亞當身上取出一根肋骨建造了一個女人。女人不是「造作」(made)的,也不是「創造」(created)的,而是「建造」(built)出來的。男人是「造作」(made)的,女人是「建造」(built)的,意思是說,女人的存在和天性比男人更複雜。女人是從亞當的肋骨建造起來的,骨頭是預表生命。譬如,聖經說到主耶穌,『祂的骨頭,一根也不可折斷。』(約十九36)主耶穌的骨頭不能折斷,預表祂那不能摧殘、復活的生命,是不能折斷的。夏娃是用亞當的肋骨建造的,意思說出她是從亞當的生命建造出來的。一方面,亞當必須沉睡,是表徵他的死;另一面,有一根骨頭要從他身上取出來,是表徵他的生命。男人的生命是女人存在的源頭,這需要有屬靈的悟性來領會,姊妹們首先要認識她這個人是為著滿足丈夫一切的需要,其次要認識她存在的源頭乃是來自於丈夫的生命。
