Relationships between men and women in GenesisRelationships between men and women in Genesis are characterized by deception and lies on the part of the women. The women in Genesis were initially explained as created. as helpers of men. Women were supposed to depend on men and not think for themselves. God explained this by saying, “It is not good for man to be alone; I will give him suitable help'; (Genesis 2:18). However, the women of Genesis always use their femininity to deceive men in different ways, not only to help themselves, but sometimes also to help their loved ones. This is a contradiction of God's design for women. There are many examples of deception in Genesis, but I will focus on the stories of Adam and Eve, Rebekah and Isaac, and Rachel and Laban. Eve is the first woman created in Genesis. She serves as a model for all the women in Genesis, but she is not a very respectable model. Eve would have been deceived by the serpent. I disagree, Eve knew she wasn't supposed to eat from the tree in the middle of the garden, and in fact she said this to the serpent: "It's only about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden which God said: 'You shall not eat from it nor touch it, lest you die. '; (Genesis 3:25). That still didn't stop her from eating from the tree. Then, after eating the apple and knowing it wasn't the right thing to do, she gave it to Adam without even telling him what it was. Adam took the apple trusting Eve's judgment without questioning it. Eve deliberately deceived Adam into eating the apple so that she would not be alone in her mistake. God then punished Adam and Eve for eating the apple when it was Eve's deception that tricked Adam into eating the apple. Adam was innocent of sin, only guilty of falling for his wife's deception. The story of Rebekah and Isaac was a terrible tale of a woman cheating on her husband and betraying her eldest son. Rebekah preferred Jacob, her second son, to Esau, her eldest son. Isaac told Esau to go get a meal, bring it back and prepare it for him. Isaac would then bless Esau with the approval of the Lord. Rebekah over Isaac telling this to Esau and told him... middle of paper ... that he had stolen the idols, something he had not done. Laban searched everywhere in the camp, even in Rebekah's tent. So she lied and deceived her father, saying, “May not my lord take it ill that I cannot stand up before you, for the time of women is at my gates.” » Since she was sitting on the idols and would not get up, Laban I did not find the idols. Rebekah uses her femininity to deceive a man. It's not just a person cheating on another person, it's a woman using feminine traits to cheat on a man who doesn't have them. This clearly shows that women are deceitful. I think I have proven through my examples that Genesis depicts women as being very deceptive and cunning. Not only were women generally deceptive, but they used their femininity to deceive and lie to men who could not detect their lies. Eve, Rebekah, and Rachel are just some of the women in Genesis who deceived men using their femininity. Women used everything from confidence to cooking and dressing skills to their periods to lie and deceive men.
