Episode: Eve Names Her Firstborn (Genesis 4:1)
Description: Different English versions will translate Genesis 4:1 different ways. One common translation is: โI have brought forth a man with the help of the LORD.โ But another possible translation (one that, for instance, Martin Luther preferred) is: โI have acquired a manโthe LORD.โ In this devotion, we explore what was likely behind the name Eve chose for her and Adamโs firstborn.Music Credit: J. S. Bach, โWir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten,โ aria from โJesu, der du meine Seele,โ BWV 78 (Leipzig, 1724).
