Hi Dianne,

Can you help me clear on the word 'corresponds'?

Did you mean that she is corresponding to him (at whatever level), or
she corresponds to and answers to his words, actions, etc.?

Everett Fox in his wonderful translation work of Torah, he renders as
'a helper corresponding to him'

Thank you very much.

Oun Kwon.
