Could Genesis 2:19 be about a second creation where G-d creates the animals
again , but this time to let Adam pick a help-mate?
Yes it appears "them" is an addition to make it flow nicely in
Also, why does it say "...and He brought them to the man to see what He will
call them...". I don't see the words "them" in the quote.
I think it could have two other possible explanations. Maybe it says that
G-d formed the creatures from the ground and then "...He came to the man to
see what he will declare is his, and all that he will declare his, a living
soul He (G-d) gave it." Maybe Adam was able to choose which animals would be
domesticated .
I know everyone will say I am wrong, but the quote in Hebrew does not seem
to say "them", so I don't think the usual translation is perfect either.
