The Ground – Adamah

Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—” therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken.

(Genesis 3:22-23) ESV

So far we’ve considered features of the surface of the Earth including topography and the development of vegetation. The ground is a translation of the Hebrew adamah, where Adam gets his name since he was made from the dust of the ground.

Men are from Earth

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

(Genesis 2:7) NKJV

God couldn’t find a suitable helper from among the beasts of the Earth and he didn’t think that making a compatible mate out of dust was sufficient. Why not? We may never understand the true significance of what the Lord is trying to tell us here, but we’ll give it a shot.

Men are from Earth, Women are from Heaven

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. 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; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto 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.

(Genesis 2:20-23) KJV

Our spherogenetic systematic approach allows us to deduce that women were created in heaven on the fourth day, men were created on Earth on the sixth day. A sample of DNA was taken from Adam to ensure compatibility.

Every Moving Creature has a Soul

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

(Genesis 1:20) KJV

When the Bible refers to living creatures that have life, it’s referring to a sentient being which has a spirit and a soul. It’s not equivalent to the biological definition of life.

He Who Removes Mountains

He is wise in heart and mighty in strength —who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded?— he who removes mountains, and they know it not, when he overturns them in his anger, who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble; who commands the sun, and it does not rise; who seals up the stars; who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea; who made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the chambers of the south; who does great things beyond searching out, and marvelous things beyond number.

(Job 9:4-10) ESV

This is Part of Job’s response to Bildad. He’s talking about tectonic upheaval. He was contemporaneous with Abraham, so only 200 or so years have passed since the tectonic breakup of Pangaea.

The Ground

Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

(Genesis 3:23) KJV

In March we’re examining what the Bible tells us about planet Earth to deduce a model of Earth’s internal structure. This model has to accommodate all of the physical features mentioned in the Bible.
