Genesis 1-3: Analysis Questions

4). Does the text say anything about the relationship between men and women?
        Men and women are meant to be companions to one another, they are not meant to be alone. God created woman because he said that it was not good for man to be alone (Gen 2:18). "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to wife, and they shall become one flesh." (Gen 2:24). this verse shows that the relationship between a husband and wife is an extremely important relationship, the two are to join together in a bond that will not break. Later in Genesis chapter 3:16 God said that woman will subservient to the husband and that the husband will rule over his wife.

5).   What is the purpose of human existence according to this account?
        " The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and keep it" (Gen 2:15). according to the passage the purpose of human existence is to take care of the earth and to have dominion over the earth (Gen 1:28-20).

6). What is the relationship between man and nature?
       Man is to have dominion over all living things (Gen 1:28-29). the earth was made for man as seen in Chapter 1:29 when God told Adam what was to be given to them for food, and again God told Adam and Eve to have dominion over the earth and to fill the earth and subdue it (Gen 1:28)

Bonus: How would you characterize the Hebrew worldview based on Genesis 1-3?
      I think that the Hebrew worldview is based on the idea that humans are superior and were created above everything else. Also the fact that there is a God and that he created the world and humans and that he has a purpose for mankind. that purpose, again, is to rule over the earth, to take care of it. I think that those ideas characterize the Hebrew worldview.
