That is clearly not the case, since you go on to say something that I am not saying at all.. . . Ok. You said it more clearly and concisely than I did. But that's pretty much what I implied over the course of a few messages.
We both know that you have a habit of "rewording" sources, so as usual, let's see the source in the Talmud that says that the serpent impregnated Eve.The Talmud says the serpent impregnated Eve.
We both know that you have a habit of "rewording" sources, so as usual, let's see the source in any of the Midrashic works that say that Adam gained knowledge of that by watching the serpent conceive Cain with Eve.Jewish midrashim claims, and I concur, that Adam learned, gained knowledge, of sex, by watching the serpent conceive Cain with Eve.
1 Kings 1:4 has the same conjugation.Nowhere else in the Tanakh is the same conjugation of the verb yada used as it is in Genesis 4:1 to speak of a man "knowing" his wife. Adam "knew of" his wife's sexual abilities because of something that happened in the garden: the serpent conceiving Cain.
It does not mean that he knew something about her. That's not what it says. It says that he knew her.
You must have missed 4:25.It's not till the fifth chapter of Genesis that Adam is said to have a son of his own, and in his own likeness and image.
So you think that Joseph knew Mary intimately before they were married and just kept it secret. Interesting.Cain is Adam's son only as Jesus is Joseph's son.
