The Scattering. In a sense, the creation-of-the-world story isn’t over until chapter 11. Throughout, God has been observing, evaluating, demolishing, renovating... and now God is redecorating, scattering and spreading the human family. That spread was God’s intention all along – that the human family would “fill the earth.” It’s our tendency to clump together in silos of sameness, but God is here hopeful that we’ll find beauty in diversity.

“I will never again.” God makes a decision: wipe it out, start over. But then God decides differently: “I’ll never do that again.” How do we wrestle with a God who learns as God goes?

They knew that they were naked. The originary humans come of age, their naivete spoiled.

Naked and Unashamed. We probably can’t talk enough about the loving care that God has for our bodies, especially because the counter-testimony (your body is wrong, dangerous, untrustworthy, problematic) is so strong. We remember that one of the first signs of the humans’ brokenness in chp. 3 is their strong desire to cover up. Genesis 2 calls us back to an exalted state of “body positivity” – though there ought to be a better way to say that.

Tilling & Keeping this Blessed Rock. When we think of “relationships” we’re usually speaking of people or Persons – relationships with family or friends, or perhaps with God. Maybe, for some of us, there’s a sense of “relationship” with an animal companion, but we sense that it’s not entirely mutual. (Fight me.) But what is the nature of the relationship that God designates for human beings with the planet God built us out of? “Tilling” and “keeping” (and “dominion,” from chp. 1) are words that deserve our attention, especially in this age of eco-anxiety after a long era of eco-domination ..read more
