Biblical Translation—Eden, 4

On to the question, “The Hebrew Eden Narrative is “valid as what?” Let me try to put this in the context of the territory on planet earth that is regarded by many as “The Holy Land.” This small piece of real estate”Canaan, Phoenicia, Israel, Judea”historically {really, actually} is where the first phonetic alphabet {>alephbeyth} emerged; is where the concept of a monotheistic Deity emerged; is where the first agrarian and urbanized human culture emerged; is where the first tent-village is found; is where the first signs of animal domestication is found; is where the earliest signs of farming is found; is where the oldest Cro-Magnon human remains are found. The Holy Land is where the transition from Paleolithic hunter-gatherer human cultures to Neolithic human civilizations is actually documented in the tangible ground itself. Now then, according to my research into the Hebrew Eden Narrative”a narrative like none other found in the ancient Near & Middle East; the origin of which scholars cannot be certain”this ancient and unique Hebrew Text describes in stunning detail {employing Hebrew Wisdom-Literature: riddle, metaphor, and poetic allegory} that which is documented in the tangible ground of The Holy Land. Thus, I perceive the Hebrew Eden Narrative as a “valid” poetic description of the human evolution that actually occurred and is documented in the actual dirt of the Holy Land.I am not interested in you interpretation at this point, only if you can decide whether it is inspired directly by your supreme ntaural God with a conscious and free will? Do you think its contents warrent that conclusion?Again, the term “inspired””as applied in this context”denotes Man going to God {so to speak}, NOT God intervening in the affairs of Man through supernatural means. Using this definition of the term “inspired”= “Man connecting with the Eternal”, then the answer is “yes”, the contents of the Hebrew Eden Narrative warrants the conclusion that Man through Eternal-inspiration composed what is conveyed in the Hebrew Eden Narrative.I hope the above aids us in moving along with our discussion.
