The priest manuals didn't suddenly appear, but represent an already well developed religious office. Also, the entire Hebrew Bible is not part of this discussion. We are exploring Genesis, which may date to around the same period, if we accept the theory that Genesis is the work of a learned writer/editor associated with the Davidic monarchy.Alice C.

You will find different creation stories in Hinduism. The story of Adimo springing from Brahma's hands stresses the concept of emanation from the Deity/Divine. In other Hindu stories God made the world and created man by calling him forth from the earth. First his head appeared and then his whole body. God gave him a woman, and the two lived as man and wife, enjoying the fruits of the earth. They had four sons, for whom God made wives, and their children populated the four quarters of the earth. The name "Adimo" is simply the Sanskrit word for "first". The appearance of the word as a proper name is not attested in Vedic texts, suggesting that the word "adam" probably shouldn't be taken as the literal name of the first male in Genesis.<BR/><BR/>For more information on the linguistic affinity of Semitic languages and the languages of India see this essay: http://jandyongenesis.blogspot.com/2007/11/linguistic-evidence-for-afro-asiatic.htmlAlice C.

Adimo is said to have sprung from God's hands.<BR/><BR/>The text is a copycat of ancient Vedic texts which also refer to Adimo.Alice C.
