Adam Names all Animals (Genesis 2:18-20)

Adam Names all Animals (Genesis 2:18-20)

In the follwing verses from the Book of Genesis (Bereshit) we will see the origins of all animals' names.

Genesis 2

18. the Eternal God said, "It is not good for Adam to be alone; I will make a fitting counterpart for him."

19. And the Eternal God formed out of the earth all the wild beasts and all the birds of the sky, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever Adam called each living creature, that would be its name.

20. And Adam gave names to all the cattle and to the birds of the sky and to all the wild beasts; but no fitting counterpart for a human being was found.



This is how the names of different animals came to be, and they are still preserved as Adam gave them in the Hebrew language.

The Biblical text tells us how the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar made an incredibly important decision. In Ezekiel 21 we read the following: "For the king of Babylon standeth at the parting of the way, by the heads of the two ways, to use divination; he shaketh the arrows to and fro, he inquireth of the teraphim, he looketh in the liver." (Ezekiel 21:2...

Genesis 2 5. when no shrub of the field was yet on earth and no grasses of the field had yet sprouted, because the Eternal God had not sent rain upon the earth and there were no human beings to till the soil. 6. but a flow would well up from the ground and water the whole surface of the earth - 7. the Eternal God formed a Human* from the soil's humus,** blowing into his nostrils the breath of life: the Human became a living being. 8.

The Andernach Synagogue memorial got destroyed?

The Andernach Synagogue memorial got destroyed? Some of our German members informed us of a terrible act which took place in the small town of Andernach. The memorial of the local synagogue has been demolished and the space surrounding it repurposed into a "private" fenced lot. The memorial in question was erected after the end of the Second World War in order to commemorate the local Holocaust victims and their demolished synagogue. Sadly, some people do not respect history and memory and do such terrible acts. As far as we have been informed, they have submitted a signal regarding this to the local authorities.
