Randy's pick up Genesis 2 where the last episode left off, moving from the creation of mankind to the making of Eve and the foundation of marriage. God declares it is not good for the man to be alone and forms a helper who corresponds to him. Randy argues that the Hebrew word usually translated “helper,” not the NET’s softer “companion,” is the richer reading, since the same word is used of God himself as Israel’s help and shield. Eve is formed from Adam’s side, brought to him in what they call the first wedding, and received with “bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.” From there they trace the one-flesh union through leave-and-cleave, sex as the covenant-sealing act of marriage, and Jesus’ words in Matthew 19 and Mark 10 that what God has joined no one should separate. They also set Eden’s wedding inside the larger story of a Father preparing a bride for his Son, and close by saying the gospel can restore what the enemy attacks when marriage and the family start to crumble
