A Child's First Bible

This idea is disturbing and goes against the laws forbidding incest in Leviticus 18. However, before this law was given in Leviticus, there were various instances of men marrying their sisters or other relatives. Abraham’s wife Sarah was his half-sister by a different mother ( Genesis 20:11-13). Jacob married two of his female cousins ( Genesis 29-30). Moses’ father married his aunt ( Exodus 6:20). For whatever reason, the law against incest doesn’t seem to have been in effect (at least not as strictly) before God made the covenant with the Israelites at Mount Sinai. Every attempt has been made to maintain proper English style, while simplifying concepts and communications. The beauty of the Hebrew parallelism in poetry and the word plays have been retained. Images of the ancient languages have been captured in equivalent English images wherever possible. Our Prayer

Whatever type of Bible you choose for your child, make sure that you read it together regularly and talk about what you’re learning. In addition to these three sons, the Bible mentions that Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters. Genesis 5:4 states, "The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters." However, the Bible does not provide specific names or details about these other children.Ancient customs are often unfamiliar to modern readers. Customs such as shaving a man’s beard to shame him or walking between the halves of a dead animal to seal an agreement are difficult for many readers to understand. So these are clarified either in the text or in a footnote. Actual Bible versions include the New Century Version, a simplified English revision of the International Children's Bible. First, Cain said after God cursed him that he feared, ‘anyone who finds me will kill me!” If there were no other children of Adam and Eve around at this point, who could Cain be talking about? Some scholars have suggested the answer is that Adam and Eve were not the first and only human beings created, simply the ones Genesis focuses on because they are the ones who lived in the Garden of Eden. However, after Adam and Eve sinned in Genesis 3, God said, “Look, the human beings have become like us,” talking about them as representatives of their entire speci es. 1 Corinthians 15 continues this method by describing Adam as the first human. It says “For as in Adam all die, so in Christ, all will be made alive” (15:22) and that “The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven” (15:47). Therefore, it seems that Adam and Eve were the first human beings.
