               ants of Adam. Hence, Christ is called  ‘the son of Adam’, not  a son of
               Enosh. With the particle ('eth) in addition to the article it is very emphatic,
               and means self, very, this same, this  very. See Genesis 2:7  (first occur-
               rence), 8,15.”


               5.  Compare Genesis 1:20,  21  and  24  and  Genesis 2:19  with  Genesis
               1:30 and Genesis 2:7 and 2:19.


               COMMENT: It is important to note that all the words for "Creature" in these
               verses and all the words for "Life" (not life in “tree of life” 2:9) and "Soul" in
               Genesis 2:7 -- are all translations of the same Hebrew word nephesh.


               This suggests  that man’s soul  here is no more than life. So he does not
               have a soul but when he is alive he is a soul, which he loses at death, an
               important  distinction  for  those  who  insist  on  unscriptural  interpretations.
               The state of a person after death, according to Scripture, should be sleep
               awaiting the resurrection. (Sleep in Hebrew sheol = “grave”).


               Since  prayers  cannot  be  offered  up  to  Mary  and  the  saints  if  they  are
               asleep, the Church of Rome favors the erroneous teaching that when one
               dies, one goes straight to heaven.

               6. What does verse 7 of Genesis 2 suggest?


               COMMENT: The use of a masculine singular personal pronoun “his” in this
               verse suggests that one male was created in Genesis 2:7 (i.e., “breathed
               into his nostrils”).


               7. Are there other verses that suggest this? Genesis 2:8, 15.

               COMMENT: Man (= mankind), created in Genesis 1, were told in Genesis
               1:28: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and

               have dominion over  the fowl of the air, and  over  every living thing that
               moveth upon the earth.” However, such is  not the case  with  Adam in
               chapter 2.

               8. What was the man in Genesis 2 told to do by YEHOVAH God? Genesis
               2:15.


               COMMENT: The man in chapter 2 was told “to dress” (“to tend and keep”
               in the KJV) the garden and was not simply a hunter-gatherer -- as "man-
               kind" appears to be in chapter 1.
