The moral of this question is that there is no proof of how, why, or where humankind was created. Only speculation and and unmarited words. None of which makes a bit of sense, since we supposedly were created by God. So if he made Eve out of the flash of another why were we conceived by someone besides God? Never mind getting off this subject to keep my sanity, which is inherited by someone else entirely.

The term “tsela” being a building construction term, meaning multiple support beams or support cells (chambers) in the side of a building. This term is also used when referring to the Tabernacle and the Temple and the storage areas of the walls (chambers), built into the walls as support to the walls. It is also used of natural occuring supports such as a cliff wall on a mountain.

Not once in the he Bible is it used for a “penis bone!”

Another funny notion is that all men should somehow be missing a rib. Adam was created with all his ribs and in procreation all his progeny will have the same numbers of ribs as Adam before God removed the one for the creation of Eve!

I agree that Gen 2:21 is properly translated as “he took one from his sides”, but not with your implied conclusion. “Sides” is plural. It would make no sense to say he took one rib from his sides. We would say he took one rib from his side (singular). The “one” is pointing to the sides. He took one (side) from the (two) sides.

checked into that; stats show a rib removed will in fact NOT grow back. the stats show that if a rib even just has a large enough portion taken away from the center it will not even grow back together much less grow back completely . GOTTA STOP BELEIVING ALL THESE SCIENCE WANNA BE PEOPLE.

The “rib” did NOT come from the ribcage, therefore the ribcage remains intact.

In Latin the preposition “in” can also mean “on”. This makes me wonder about the use of “from” or “out of” a rib pulled from Adam’s side. Is a possible connotation “using”, allowing that the “rib” pulled from Adam’s side (a penis) around which “woman” is formed thus uniting their flesh in coitus?
