This episode explains why Yahowah ended Gan 'Eden intentionally, how Adam failed the test of observation, work, and trust, why the Tree of Knowledge and Tree of Lives represent real individuals, and how humanity earns re-entry into the Garden through listening, engagement, and contribution as revealed through Towrah, Bare’syth, the Choter, and Dowd

Let There Be Light: The Real Story Of Her Creation by Liana Finck. Random House, 2022. 9781984801531. http://www.powells.com/book/-9781984801531?partnerid=34778&p_bt

In Part I: Past, God creates everything: the heavens and earth, night and day, everything on the Earth. She's a little more despondent and lonely than I'd have suspected, but she has a few wild, joyous moments too. Then she makes man (and Lilith, Monster of the Night). And man starts naming everything, including her. And when he names her "she [transforms] into a stern old man with a  beard." (That's true only in man's mind though. Ha.) When man is a little sad God has to tell him he's right about everything, and then makes him a friend, woman. Everything is great, but then all of that stuff with the tree of knowledge happens, followed by the story of exile and Cain and Abel and a brilliant comics adaptation of all of the begetting that follows, plus the story of Noah.

I loved the retelling of the Book of Genesis, and I'm specifically recommending the book for Part I.  Part II: Present lost me as it veered out of the story of Abraham and toward Isaac and Sarah and others. I know I lost something in skipping ahead to the Epilogue. I'm not a Bible reader, but if you are I'd love to know what you made of all of Part II and its modern setting. (And I may do a little reading to figure it out, who knows.)

Finck's pencils and inks feel playful most of the time, and then entirely serious. I love her style, including the book's simple layouts and how little text she needs. Her limited use of color is simply brilliant.

Joseph tells his brothers about a dream he had in which his brothers’ sheaves of wheat bowed to his sheaf. This makes them hate him more than they already do. Then he tells his brothers and father about a dream he had in which the sun, moon, and eleven stars bowed to him. This makes his brothers jealous and is of concern to his father. His brothers plot to kill him, then after they decide not to do that they throw him into a pit and he is sold to some Ishmaelite merchants on their way to Egypt, who transport him on the back of a camel along with their other goods. Later, Joseph’s brother Judah engages the services of a veiled prostitute sitting by the entrance to Enaim. He doesn’t know that the prostitute is his widowed daughter-in-law Tamar*. In Egypt, Joseph has been purchased by Potiphar, courtier of the Pharaoh. He has risen to a high position in the household due to his excellent service. While Potiphar is away, Potiphar’s wife tries to seduce Joseph. Joseph flees as Potiphar’s wife grabs at his garment.
