The Lord Will

Genesis 5:2

β€œMale and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.”

KJV

Read in Genesis 5

Meaning

Male and female are both included in humanity's creation and blessing, and the text speaks of them together under the human name.

Read carefully

The verse restates the creation account; it should be interpreted in its literary context rather than recruited as a complete treatment of every later question about sex and gender.

Reflection

The genealogy begins by locating human identity in shared creaturehood and divine blessing before any individual lineage is traced.
