Reading notes: Adam and Eve Part A
Adam and Eve by Ginzberg; link to the reading online
Adam's body was huge and reached to Heaven itself. Adam was created to be the perfect human. He was charming, physically fit, and had great spiritual qualities. God breathed a soul into him. Adam was so "gracious" to give David seventy years from his 1000 years. Adam is named after Adamah, which means dust of the earth.
Adam made the angels jealous, so they tried to set him on fire. God protected him. Satan was the most jealous one out of all of the angels, which led to his fall. Satan challenged Adam to a "trial of wit." Adam and Satan had to assign names to the animals, if Satan could not he failed. In this story, Satan lost and refused to bow down to Adam, so he threw a tantrum and was flown out of heaven by God himself.
The earth and God divided time between each other. God took night and the earth took day. This was a result of the earth not feeling like it could nourish Adam and his many descendants to come. Lilith was given to Adam to be his wife, but she did not like him. She stayed for a short time because she could not have equality with him. She flew away and was tracked down by angels. When they caught her, she accepted the punishment rather than to stay with Adam.
Eve was created to be the perfect companion for Adam. She came from the rib of Adam. She ended up talking him into eating the apple from the forbidden tree, because the serpent told her to. When they were ashamed of being naked, God knew that they went against his wishes. He was punished by only being able to give 70 years to his descendants. Eve was punished with ten curses.
At the time there were only six commandments.
