To see Ziony ZevitвЂ™s full explanation of the Adam and Eve story in the Bible, read his article вЂњWas Eve Made from AdamвЂ™s Rib-or His Baculum?вЂќ in the September/October 2015 issue of BAR.Д«AS Library Members: Read the full article вЂњWas Eve Made from AdamвЂ™s Rib-or His Baculum?вЂќ by Ziony Zevit in the September/October 2015 issue of Biblical Archaeology Review. Zevit concludes that in the story of Adam and Eve in the Bible, the woman was created from the manвЂ™s baculum to explain why this appendage does not have a bone. Which of these lateral limbs lacks a bone? Human males do not have a penis bone, but many mammals do.

The only place where tselaвЂ might be construed as referring to a rib that branches off from the spinal cord is in Genesis 2:21вЂ“22.ДЄccording to Zevit, вЂњribвЂќ is the wrong translation for tselaвЂ in the Adam and Eve story in the Bible.

In each of these instances, it refers to something off-center, lateral to a main structure. This Hebrew word occurs some 40 times in the Hebrew Bible, where it refers to the side of a building or of an altar or ark (Exodus 25:12 26:20, 26 1 Kings 6:34), a side-chamber (1 Kings 6:8 Ezekiel 41:6), or a branch of a mountain (2 Samuel 16:13). Of the 40 appearances of tselaвЂ in the Bible, the Adam and Eve story is the only place where it is translated as вЂњrib.вЂќ Usually it means the side of something.

Zevit carefully examines the account of the creation of woman in the Bible in his article вЂњWas Eve Made from AdamвЂ™s Rib-or His Baculum?вЂќ which appears in the September/October 2015 issue of Biblical Archaeology Review. However, a more careful reading of the Hebrew word for вЂњribвЂќ in the Adam and Eve story suggests that Eve was created from another, very different, part of AdamвЂ™s anatomy-his os baculum (penis bone). It was first translated as вЂњribвЂќ in the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible from the mid-third century B.C.E. Ziony Zevit, Distinguished Professor of Biblical Literature and Northwest Semitic Languages at American Jewish University in Bel-Air, California, believes that this translation is wrong, as do many scholars. The Hebrew word that is traditionally translated as вЂњribвЂќ is tselaвЂ. The Adam and Eve story in Genesis 2 states that God formed Adam out of the dust of the ground, and then Eve was created from one of AdamвЂ™s ribs. Most translations of the Adam and Eve story say that Eve was created from AdamвЂ™s rib, but Ziony Zevit contends that she was created from a very different part of AdamвЂ™s body.ДЄccording to the BibleвЂ™s creation account, after making the heavens and the earth, God created humankind.
