From Background Notes [BN] for May 7th & 8th written by
Pastor Bob Brown:
What Genesis 2 brings to our
understanding of Genesis 1 is the inner workings of God's creative act in the
case of "humanity", something we do not see in relationship to the
other living things. Why "male and female" for human beings?
Plainly for different reasons than for
other animals. True, procreation lies within the rationale, but not only that.
Something more: companionship as expressed in the Hebrew term 'ēzer.
This word appears elsewhere in the Old Testament to speak of God's help for His
people, for military aid, or for assistance rendered to someone inadequate in
themselves. Human "solitude" stands in need to assistance; it
needs something more. [BN,6]
