Genesis 2:23 - "...she shall be called woman". YiQaReA (niphal), I had
expected the feminine here. It seems that there is a subliminal message in
this declaration by Adam, in that whereas he began the statement with "ZOT"
(this, feminine) he now refers to the woman with the masculine, signifying
perhaps the reference to the fact that she(he?) was from HIS flesh and with
that he shows that he recognizes what has just taken place. Am I making a
fool of myself here?
