How long do you think the Lord leaves Adam asleep before he is awakened and given Eve or Chava?
For one thing, I'm not so sure that the whole rib thing wasn't metaphorical, but if it were meant literally, then it would happen quickly, very quickly in a matter of moments and there would be no post op pain at all. It's not like God was operating with a scalpel and sutures and a bone saw! This is the guy who controls the laws of the universe! Adam awoke whole and complete, as if he never had or needed the rib in the first place. God is a magician to us, 10,000X farther above us than we'd be above a caveman.How long do you think the Lord leaves Adam asleep before he is awakened and given Eve or Chava?
When I spent the three years researching all the names in the Bible (without having Internet) I questioned the whole rib issue. I think I posted somewhere in this forum about the rib but if not I will go into that in a comment later in this thread.For one thing, I'm not so sure that the whole rib thing wasn't metaphorical, but if it were meant literally, then it would happen quickly, very quickly in a matter of moments and there would be no post op pain at all.

And it is a GOOD thing as once we get through that first week a rest is in order.How long do you think the Lord leaves Adam asleep before he is awakened and given Eve or Chava?
good question------it is best to sleep thru Post-op pain. Removal of a rib is
no picnic--------the poor victim would have quite a bit of pain on INSPIRATION
(uhm----that means BREATHING IN----not revelation) -----and then----just what
would he have to DO with Eve? even "that" would lead to pain at the operative
site. Since the concept of a WEEK had already been instituted------my educated
guess would be------surgery on Friday-------and discharge on the following Friday----
the whole week in induced coma. THEN adam would be a good shape to celebrate
his first FRIDAY NITE

Be sure that the "days" in Genesis' "week" were not the week we know. It might have been millions or billions of years long. The use of "days" and "nights" in the book of Genesis was mere literary license by the writer to convey difficult concepts in ordinary terms man could relate to.

I respectfully disagree with your precepts. The Bible was written to be an enduring document just like our constitution was written to be an enduring document for then and for now.We'll have to ask that question when we get to Heaven because we weren't given that info. Eden was a different place, and can't be held to today's standards.
Something else we don't know is how long Adam and Eve lived in Eden before they introduced evil into the mix. But we do know about birthing. There was little pain in childbirth in Eden. The pain women go through now developed after the Fall, so healing from a small wound to the side should have taken no time at all.
God knows what he is doing while we do not.
A few hours.Simple rib removal/ anesthesia. Growing Eve from Adams ribs stem sells may have taken years. Dunno. The bible doesn't elaborate on that.How long do you think the Lord leaves Adam asleep before he is awakened and given Eve or Chava?

Enjoy HELL when you get there.Depends if the lord is molesting Adam or not, because God might then keep him under a while longer.How long do you think the Lord leaves Adam asleep before he is awakened and given Eve or Chava?
I am glad you agree that it is an enduring document written for all times. You are correct God does not change. What changes is the knowledge (it increases) and the precepts as people become more aware of the spirit and that which is operating in the spiritual realm in us and around us. I will need to go into the 'thorns, pain, etc...' in a future post and possibly the establishing or origin of the original host (<I have to pray on that part to insure I articulate it properly or see if I can in a brief comment like this)I respectfully disagree with your precepts.

It's perfectly ok to disagree.
What part do you disagree with? The Bible IS an enduring document. That doesn't mean that what was once is still the case today. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, but the circumstances, generation after generation change through out. God even pointed out the differences pre and post Eden, e.g. increased pain in childbirth, and Adam having to toil for food. There were no thorns in the Garden. There are now though.

If there are scriptures that are silent to/for you it means you are not readied for them yet.How long do you think the Lord leaves Adam asleep before he is awakened and given Eve or Chava?
The first point I would try to make here is you have to remember, before Adam and Eve disobeyed God and cursed themselves and the planet, that they had much different bodies than we have today. Adam was created perfect on day 6 and at the end of that day God says in Genesis 1:31 "behold, it was very good." God didn't create our bodies to hunger, get tired, have pain, diseases, etc. This is the same body, I believe, we will get back once we enter Heaven.
So to directly answer your question, God is silent in scripture concerning the amount of time that passed in Genesis 2:21-23 when He put Adam to sleep. Probably because this piece of information is irrelevant to the story that is being told here. The scriptures isn't always going to give every little detail unfortunately. If you need questions like this answered, then you might as well ask HOW God created the heaven and the earth in Genesis 1:1? God, in giving us His perfect book, put everything in His scriptures that is relevant. If the scriptures are silent, I would say it doesn't really matter and we should focus on what IS written.
Still a fun question though, don't get me wrong.
