## Resource

With Bill Arnold, Asbury Theological Seminary - In this episode, we explore two major themes in Genesis 2: Sabbath and the creation of woman . We examine the parallels between creation and the Tabernacle, how Israel’s Sabbath differs from other ancient seven-day cycles, and how Sabbath functions as liberation from the economic order — restoring people to one another in covenant. We also unpack the meaning of ezer kenegdo (“a helper opposite him”) and why the phrase signals strength and correspondence, not subordination, and explore why the account of Creation uniquely appears in Scripture in two tellings side by side. podcast website: ⁠https://sites.biu.ac.il/en/bible-bar
