It says quite clearly in Genesis 1 “God created Man in their own likeness, male and female created he him”, following the ‘seven days’ (of which only the first actually says ‘God created’ and all the rest are ‘brought forth after its kind’ and the like). Complicated by the fact that Hebrew has only two genders but does allow some words to switch gender in the plural or take the wrong adjectival agreement. In other words, a language with formal gender can be played with to incorporate both in a way a that a language without cannot.
By Genesis 3 we have a second creation in reverse order starting with Adam formed from ‘the dust of the earth’ ('DM means ‘clay’) who is ‘alone’. The name of ‘God’ in Genesis 1 is Elohiym (a plural). In ‘Eden’ it is YHWH. By the time the Bible is written down these are taken as different names for the same single deity but there’s no certainty that they were originally and much more likely that they were not because where YHWH is referenced are much more ‘folksy’ tales where he is often ‘wrathful’ and ‘vengeful’ and very much stomping around on this earth while references to Elohiym are much more elevated and philosophical in style.
There was another way of interpreting it though it does not mention Lilith by name. Instead it uses the Greek Sophia meaning the Wisdom of God depicted as a deity in her own right.
In this heretical view, Man-Woman is the (spiritual) reflection of the Ultimate Unknowable whatever that all things are a manifestation of. But just as you don’t see atoms whizzing around in a cloud when you kick a table, so each degree of manifestation is ignorant of any ‘above’ itself - until you reach the human mind which is capable of reaching back to the Essence, the ‘Elohiym’. YHWH is not the same, he represents the forces of matter and ignorant animal instinct which blind humanity to its true divine nature and keep us in ignorance imagining everything in the garden is lovely because we can’t imagine any better.
Sophia appears disguised as a serpent which leads the woman to Knowledge of the true divine human nature and she leads the man. The female occupies the extremes, both more intuitive and more material because of being the physical reproducer, than the male. If you read Genesis, you find that YHWH (Jehovah) throws the first of his many almighty tantrums because "Now they know they are gods like Us, knowing good from evil it is not just because they disobeyed, it is because they know good from evil.
This is a very strange response from a supposedly moral deity! Wouldn’t a moral god want his thinking beings to know good from evil? Maybe so - but Jehovah doesn’t! And he says why too: Now they know they are gods like ‘Us’. Therefore his equals, if not moral superiors able to judge him and realise that the garden is no garden at all but a place of horror that is going to take the rest of eternity to put right and bring into harmony with the perfection it developed from.
In fact, the Serpent is a widespread myth that occurs in other forms like the Golden Fleece and the Dragon’s Hoard. Genesis is unique in reversing it. In all other cases the Dragon guards the Treasure, either out of pure malevolence or to prevent human beings from acquiring it before they have the strength to use it properly.
The continuation is that Jesus is ‘second Adam’ (and sometimes Sophia’s brother) who comes to release us from material worship of blood sacrifices and endless ritual and taboo like Jehovah’s and to recognition of the true abstract divinity whose ‘worship’ consists of respect and compassion for each other and understanding of the cosmic unity hidden in material diversity. He ‘destroys the Temple’ because we are our own Temple, he ends sacrifice because his religion is about how we feel and behave and not all materialistic where breaking a tabu can be bought off (literally) with an animal sacrifice or a purification ritual that does nothing to change the inner person.
Jesus as a figure stands for the Christ in us and the Christ in us is our own divinity formed in the likeness of Elohiym (equally, a Buddhist would call it Buddha-Nature and even more tellingly, a Hindu Aatman which means both Soul and God).
This gets round how ‘God’ can be ‘loving’, ‘compassionate’ and so on and yet the Old Testament full of the most appalling atrocities (and punishments) attributed to ‘God’ - different names. Sometimes, the King James translates Al or Elohiym as ‘God’ and Jehovah as ‘The LORD’ but it is not consistent and there is often Jehovah of ‘something’, the most famous being Lord of hosts which is itself a misleading translation because ‘hosts’ there has a sense that was archaic even in 1611 of ‘Armies’. Might as well call him outright ‘Mars’ or ‘Ares’.
St. Paul says as much (I forget where) but it runs along the lines that whatever scripture confirms the concept of a transcendent compassionate Ideal can be accepted as genuine and what doesn’t is the work of Man, justifying some tribal squabble or ancient act of imperial expansion (and can be thrown away). Marcion (who was admittedly a proto-Puritan heretic) threw the entire Old Testament away and kept only an early version of Luke’s gospel but it was because of him that the church leaders sat down to decide what ought to actually go into the Bible. They have never agreed and some books have been taken out, some added later, Protestants for reasons unknown gone to a Hebrew version that the Apostles and their followers never used to 1500 years, the Roman church only settled it at the Council of Trent with a version different from the Orthodox - and there are books in the Ethiopian bible otherwise known only by name and in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
I laughed at that, too. It’s so much easier to be taken seriously when you use the right words…
