    Also, before God made Eve, He made Lilith, who was Adams first wife and unacceptably feminist. (It’s alluded to in Genesis when on the sixth date he created humans, man AND woman—traditionally Lilith). It’s said that the other peoples besides the Jewish claim descent from Lilith, along with a bunch of demons.

    Lilith got turned out and God had to make someone more tractable for Adam (Eve). But that’s how there were others for them to mingle with.

      Or it is because Genesis is copy pasted together from two slightly different original sources. One where man and woman were created on the same day and one where Eve was created after Adam.

        This sounds like the Bible is just clobbered together from other cultures beliefs by a ChatGPT… and I kinda wonder how that’d work out now.

          The two main sources of the bible are known as E and J. The Elohist and the Jahwist. The Elohist named so because in text believed to come from this school god is referred to as El or the plural Elohim(like a royal plural). In the Jahwist source god is referred to as Yahweh.

          Both El and Yahweh were gods in the Canaanite pantheon.
