Androgynous Adam: Biblical?

in news •  3 years ago 

"According to Kabbalists, Adam, whom they call Adam Ha-Rishon (primoridal human consciousness), was created as both male and female, but was separated into two creatures; “Adam” and “Eve”. The Midrash Rabbah says that,

“When the Holy One created Adam [Ha-Rishon], it was androgynous."

"The Jewish Oral Tradition provides us with a fascinating insight into this grammatical oddity. The first human, it tells us, was really an androgynous being, both male and female in one body, sophisticated and self-sufficient.

But if God had created such a complete human being, why the later separation into two parts, into Adam and Eve?"

"Adam Kadmon was, originally, according to the Zohar and the Talmud, he was androgynous; Adam, he wasn’t male or female, he was male and female in one body"

"Until now the first human, although endowed with superior intelligence for naming other living creatures and assuming dominion over them, was called merely “ha-adam” – an androgynous creature shaped of the substance of the earth, ha-adama."
