Watch the video and share one thought on their relationship (input via ZOOM chat)
Reflect upon the lyrics of the song and sing along.


Each week we will be given the verses and questions to ponder about, so that our first 40 minutes of ZOOM will be a self-discovery of our Maker!

26. wayo’mer ‘Elohim Na`aseh ‘adam b’tsal’menu kid’muthenu w’yir’du bid’gath hayam ub`oph hashamayim ubab’hemah ub’kal-ha’arets ub’kal-haremes haromes `al-ha’arets. 

Gen1:26 Then Elohim said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. 


After preparing everything, we read this above dialog taking place in the heavenly realm.
Reflection questions to consider about our Maker (Look for the answers in these verses only)
1.      Who conceived the making of mankind?
2.      Think of the word “US” in this verse and consider their ONENESS. Express it!
3.      What is the semblance of mankind to his Maker?
4.      How can we know who is greater? Maker or creation
5.      Why is heaven a place for modelling perfection?
6.      Were there any other creatures whom God made in His own image and likeness, like mankind?

 27. wayibra’ ‘Elohim ‘eth-ha’adam b’tsal’mo b’tselem ’Elohim bara’ ‘otho zakar un’qebah bara’ ‘otham. 

Gen1:27 And Elohim created man in His own image, in the image of Elohim He created him; male and female He created them.



1.      How did our Maker create mankind?
2.      What genders did our Maker create?



28. way’barek ‘otham ‘Elohim wayo’mer lahem ‘Elohim p’ru ur’bu umil’u ‘eth-ha’arets w’kib’shuah ur’du bid’gath hayam ub`oph hashamayim ub’kal-chayah haromeseth `al-ha’arets. 



Gen1:28 And Elohim blessed them; and Elohim said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.


  
1.      Why do we need our Maker’s blessing?
2.      How does our Maker view the role that each gender plays in His blessing?
3.      Does our Maker want each gender to be self-sufficient?
4.      Can any one of the genders achieve all that our Marker said in His blessing?
5.      What was our Marker intention to make one dependent on another?
6.      Can anyone then live in isolation (when our Maker’s design was to complete and complement and not compete and compare)?
7.      Can mankind continue to know the Maker if we do not spend enough time with His instructions (Bible)?
8.      Can the world’s view be different from that of our Maker?

We will take a 10 minutes break and those who wish to return for a Q&A session can do so.
This will be in 2 parts:
1.      Questions covering the 3 verses and exploring the Hebrew words which can be researched using Tools that are available to us.
2.      Learning the ABC of the Hebrew language for those who are interested and other needs.
