| Resumo: | Genesis 2 contains some powerful imagery germane to the discussion of environmental awareness and responsibility. Both humans and animals are described in Hebrew as nephesh hayya', a “living being,” but in English we translate the words differently to maintain our human superiority. We subsequently disown our oneness with the animal realm by brutalizing species of animals throughout the world. Likewise the human is put into the garden to “keep” or “protect” it, which is not what we have been doing with either the world or the animal kingdom. |
