Remember this is the story of creation but within the Torah, the Law of Moses.
CarM: Why then did "Eli" not avail himself of the [future] provision of a father's prerogative to cancel the consequences of his daughter Eve's blunder? I mean, "love covers a multitude of sins"
where is the fatherly love?
thousands of years of animal sacrifices, + one perfect human, and we are still mired in "sin"
P.S. With Eve's sin avoidable, we could have had perfect woman, with undamaged female chromosomes.
well , we love our wives and Daughters, so it is as perfect as it gets, talking snake stories or not.
