Quick question: was Chawah an instantaneous creation from Adam's rib, or was she already existing and God just used Adam's rib and joined it to Chawah?

Following taken from the Eden chapter of YY:



If I was to say Yahshua was Adam and the Woman was us in this case, then I would come to the conclusion that Chawah was already existing but just not yet spiritually awakened. But then I prone to believe she was an instantaneous creation because we are basically nothing without Yahshua, we aren't even alive without Him. To paraphrase Solomon: everything is meaningless without Him.

Matthew it looks like you have the same question as me. In YY Yada addresses Adam being taken into the enclosed and protected Garden of Joy / Eden. I recall asking about whether Chawwah was similarily a special creation or was like Adam, alive in soul and not yet of Spirit through Neshamah. I never did recieve a specific answer and wondered if any one else has either and if they recieved a reply what it was?

I can certainly agree with the spiritual truths an metaphores discussed here, but since the question was placed here in the Science and Scriptures folder rather than the "In the Beginning" folder, I'd like to persue it from a scientific question, recognizing that the answer is ultimtely secondary to the Spiritual truths aspects.

A plain reading of the text makes me think a Chawwah was indeed a special creation, however, having had my eyes open by Yada's writing on the six Yown of Genesis 1, makes me not want rely on that method if another posssiblity is supportable. I wrote in another post folder that David Rohl. who Yada supports regarding chrnonoly but not for Spiritual insights regards Chawwah (Rohl uses Eve), as a woman already living outside of the Garden made to be like Adam. Rohl at least in the Eden to Exile book I read was not the one he wrote which focuses on Genesis / Eden. I think that one was called Legend and I've yet to see in detail the case he makes for Chawwah, but suspect he agrees at least in part on Adam's entry into Eden.

Any other thoughts out there on this question?

Thanks for that Ken. I can see Adam viewing his bride to be is such joyous expressions.

Do you have any thoughts as to whether she physically pre-existed outside the sheltered garden and was made like Adam once inside or was a special / miraculous creation? In other words, was she once physically Adam's removed rib one nap later transformed into a fully developed, neshama equipped woman?

While I'd think it makes little difference Spiritually speaking, the metaphor seems more plausible to me, however a plain reading of the text seems to say otherwise.
