Parallels between the mouth washing and opening rituals and the Eden story suggest that the biblical author was comparing and contrasting human creation with the ritual creation, animation, and installation of a cult statue in order to redefine şelem ʻelohîm as a human being—the living likeness of God tending and serving in the sacred garden"--Publisher's website.Siphrut ;15.Image of GodBiblical teachingCreationBiblical teachingReligionfast(OCoLC)fst01093763Image of GodBiblical teachingfast(OCoLC)fst00967496CreationBiblical teachingfast(OCoLC)fst00882383Civilizationfast(OCoLC)fst00862898Image of GodBiblical teachingCreationBiblical teachingEgyptReligion332 B.C.-640 A.DnliIraqfastEgyptfastEgyptReligion332 B.C.-640 A.DIraqCivilizationTo 634Criticism, interpretation, etc.Image of GodBiblical teaching.CreationBiblical teaching.Religion.Image of GodBiblical teaching.CreationBiblical teaching.Civilization.Image of GodBiblical teaching.CreationBiblical teaching.222/.1106McDowell Catherine L.1802364MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910964576903321The Image of God in the Garden of Eden4348029UNINA
