Numerical Expositions: Genesis 2:22

And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

-- Gen. 2:22 (KJV)

In this verse, God creates woman from the rib of the man.  Also, God brings the woman to the man, which more or less, begins the first relationship between men and women.

A few relationship tidbits can be garnered from this verse.  The woman is intended to be at the side of a man in a relationship.  The relationship is not supposed to be fashioned in a way in which the man controls the woman with verbal and physical abuse.  Also, the relationship is not supposed to be fashioned in a way in which the woman manipulates the man with a conniving demeanor of a Jezebel.

The plight of the single woman can be solved if the woman allows for God to present her to the man instead of the woman presenting herself in a way to lure the man with seduction.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 2,4,6.  (2) To be delivered, stay away from manipulating others.  (4) To stay in God's Word, realize that women are His creation.  (6)  Expose evil in order for new relationships to develop.
