it's been a while between posts.
for my 300th (only days, coincidentally before my 30th!), i thought:
if i was doing my own translation of Genesis 3, i would call Adam Graham, and Eve Olivia. Graham Ground and Olivia Living. heaps better than Adam Adamah and Chawa Chay (ie adam of the earth and eve of the living).
would you hire me as a translator?

Peter Enns is writing some posts on the genesis stuff at http://biologos.org/blog/israels-two-creation-stories-part-3/
points out:
'In Genesis 2 one male (adam) is formed from the ground (adamah). Then later, in a separate creative act, one woman (ishah) is formed from the man (ish).'
What do you do with that? perhaps her name could start out as greta graham?
