The Hebrew word often translated as "rib" is "צֵלָע" (tsela), which can also mean "side" or "flank." This term appears in the context of God's creation of Eve from Adam's body, highlighting the intimate and purposeful design of humanity.<br><br><b>Creation of Eve</b><br><br>The account of Eve's creation is found in <a href="/genesis/2-21.htm">Genesis 2:21-22</a> : "So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh. And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him." This passage underscores the unique relationship between man and woman, emphasizing their unity and equality in the eyes of God. The use of Adam's rib signifies that woman was not created from the dust of the ground, as Adam was, but from a living part of him, symbolizing companionship and partnership.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Interpretation</b><br><br>The creation of Eve from Adam's rib has been interpreted in various ways throughout Christian history. Traditionally, it is seen as a symbol of the equality and complementarity between men and women. The rib, being a part of the side, suggests that woman is neither above nor below man but stands alongside him. This interpretation aligns with the biblical view of marriage as a partnership, as further elaborated in <a href="/genesis/2-24.htm">Genesis 2:24</a> : "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh."<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>Theologically, the creation of Eve from Adam's rib is significant in understanding the nature of human relationships and the divine intention for marriage. It reflects the idea that men and women are created to be in harmonious relationship with one another, each bringing unique qualities and strengths to the union. This narrative also prefigures the New Testament teaching on the unity of believers in Christ, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/5-31.htm">Ephesians 5:31-32</a> , where the Apostle Paul refers to the Genesis account to illustrate the mystery of Christ and the Church.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context</b><br><br>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the Genesis account of Eve's creation stands out for its portrayal of woman as an integral and equal partner to man. This contrasts with other ancient creation myths, where women are often depicted as secondary or inferior. The biblical narrative affirms the inherent dignity and worth of both men and women as bearers of the image of God (<a href="/genesis/1-27.htm">Genesis 1:27</a>).<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The biblical use of "rib" in the creation of Eve carries profound theological and relational significance. It serves as a foundational text for understanding the biblical view of gender, marriage, and human relationships, emphasizing unity, equality, and mutual respect.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

They are found thus translated only in connection with the creation of Eve: "He (Yahweh) took one of his (Adam's) ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof: and the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, made he (margin "builded he into") a woman" (<a href="/genesis/2-21.htm">Genesis 2:21, 22</a>). The Aramaic word is only found in <a href="/daniel/7-5.htm">Daniel 7:5</a>.<br><br>Twice the Revised Version (British and American) uses the word "rib" in a figurative sense of two beams or rafters built in to the ark of the covenant and the altar of incense, on which the golden rings were fastened, which served to carry ark and altar by means of staves (<a href="/exodus/30-4.htm">Exodus 30:4</a>; <a href="/exodus/37-27.htm">Exodus 37:27</a>).<br><br>A curious mistranslation has crept into the King James Version, which here follows Jewish commentators or etymologists, in four passages in 2 Samuel (2:23; 3:27; 4:06; 20:10), where the "fifth rib" is mentioned as the place of the body under which spears or swords are thrust, so as to cause lethal wounds. The Hebrew word chomesh, which indeed means "fifth," is here a noun, derived from a root meaning "to be staunch," "stalwart," "stout" "fleshy," "obese" (compare chamush, "armed," "equipped soldier"; Arabic el khamis (el chamis), "the army," which, however, Arabic lexicographers explain as meaning "fivefold," namely, vanguard, right and left wing, center and rear guard). The word is to be translated "abdomen," "belly." the Revised Version (British and American) renders correctly "into the body."<br><br>H. L. E.
