Verse Per Verse Episode One: Breshit
17/10/2011The annual cycle of the reading of the torah is beginning again, as it has for thousands of years. In the first episode of Verse Per Verse, Amichai Lau Lavie explores two verses from the first parsha (section) of the first book of the torah. In Breshit (Genesis) Chapter 2, Verse 20 and 21, the torah tells the story of the creation of Sela and the creation of woman. But why do three different versions of the same text read soo differenet? Was the first woman created from just any rib, from the 13th rib on the right side, or just from the side of man? And, perhaps we should reconsider taking the idea of the rib so literally, perhaps it is just a metaphor.
