Yup!!!!! also The Hebrew word translated "man" is adam. In the manuscripts it is not preceded by the definite article 'eth and so it does not refer to a specific person, i.e. the word adam means human being or mankind, and no gender is implied If you have a Companion Bible it will document it for you.
this is why you must check out the languages becuase words can be used in passages that have completely diffrent meanings.

"When Cain was sent forth into the land of Nod, it says he took a wife. Where in the world did she come from?" The answer is simple, she was of the sixth day creation. FOr those that keep asking.

I'm confused.

I asked, "So, you're saying that on the 6th day God created "man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them", rested on the 7th day, then went about making a single man from the dust and making his woman out of his rib as a special and separate creation of man?"

To which you replied, " Yup!!!!! also The Hebrew word translated "man" is adam. In the manuscripts it is not preceded by the definite article 'eth and so it does not refer to a specific person, i.e. the word adam means human being or mankind. . . "

I asked if mankind was created on the 6th day then a special man and his woman were created afterward and you said "Yup". But, by equating the name "Adam" with mankind, you're saying that God created mankind on the 6th day then created a separate special mankind after He rested? Who was this special mankind?
