What Adam Lacked...Part 3 of 10 Genesis Chapter 2 and Its Implications for Relationships: A Commentary

What Adam Lacked...

Genesis 2:21-22
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept:  and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof: And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

God chose to provide for the man by taking something from the man.  God, the great physician, performed surgery with supernatural anesthesia. 

God took a piece of Adam, and did not replace this piece/rib.  The missing piece was used to fashion a woman.  The woman now had what the man lacked. 

God fashioned the woman to be the suitable being for the man.  Then God brought the woman to the man.
