This is the 63rd Lecture on Genesis. 

Genesis 2:18 says, "Then the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."" Then Genesis 2:19-20 describes a scene where Adam gave names to all the living creatures. Genesis 2:21-22 describes the scene when God created the helper suitable for Adam. To help you understand the latter verses, let me briefly review the Creation works. On the 5th Day, God created fish and birds. On the 6th Day, God created all the animals which could stand with their feet on the ground of the earth. On the same day, God created the first man, Adam. 

Then, when did God created Eve who was the helper suitable for Adam? It was after He led Adam into the Garden of Eden. God HIMSELF created Adam from the dust of the ground on earth. Eve was created from the rib which God took from Adam when he was in the Garden of Eden. Even though Adam became a living being, the basic element of which Adam consisted of was the ground from the earth. Therefore, the basic element of Eve, who was created from Adam's rib, was also of the ground from the earth. 

Before God began the Creation works, He had all the plans beforehand. "What to create, when to create, and how to create" the order of creation and the method of creation were all included in His plan. He had blueprints for all the creatures. From the very beginning, He already had a plan to create the first man, Adam, from the dust of the ground on the 6th day of Creation. Just as tonight's scripture says, He had a plan from the beginning to create a suitable helper for Adam. This verse also reveals the reason why God wanted to create a helper suitable for Adam. It says that the reason is because "It is not good for the man to be alone." "To make human cultivation take place, Adam must have given birth to his descendants, and thus he obviously needed a female, a woman."

Mwanzo 2:18 inasema, “Bwana Mungu akasema, ‘Si vema huyo mtu awe peke yake; nitamfanyia msaidizi wa kumfaa.’” Kisha Mwanzo 2:19–20 inaeleza jinsi Adamu alivyowapa majina viumbe hai wote. Mwanzo 2:21–22 inaeleza jinsi Mungu alivyomuumba msaidizi aliyemfaa Adamu. Ili kuelewa mistari hiyo inayofuata, hebu tukumbuke kwa ufupi kazi ya Uumbaji. Siku ya tano, Mungu aliumba samaki na ndege. Siku ya sita, aliumba wanyama wote wanaoweza kusimama kwa miguu yao juu ya ardhi. Siku hiyo hiyo, Mungu alimuumba mwanadamu wa kwanza, Adamu.

Basi, Mungu alimuumba lini Hawa, aliyekuwa msaidizi anayemfaa Adamu? Alimuumba baada ya kumwongoza Adamu kuingia katika Bustani ya Edeni. Mungu mwenyewe alimfanyiza Adamu kwa mavumbi ya ardhi. Hawa aliumbwa kwa ubavu ambao Mungu alimchukua Adamu alipokuwa katika Bustani ya Edeni. Ingawa Adamu alikuwa kiumbe hai, sehemu ya msingi aliyoumbwa nayo ilikuwa ardhi ya dunia. Kwa hiyo, sehemu ya msingi ya Hawa, aliyeumbwa kwa ubavu wa Adamu, pia ilitokana na ardhi ya dunia.

Kabla Mungu hajaanza kazi ya Uumbaji, alikuwa tayari amepanga mambo yote. Mpangilio na njia ya Uumbaji, yaani “nini cha kuumba, lini na jinsi gani,” vyote vilijumuishwa katika mpango wake. Alikuwa na ramani za viumbe vyote. Tangu mwanzo, alikuwa amepanga kumuumba Adamu, mwanadamu wa kwanza, kwa mavumbi ya ardhi siku ya sita ya Uumbaji. Kama andiko la leo linavyosema, tangu mwanzo alikuwa amepanga kumuumba Adamu msaidizi anayemfaa. Mstari huu pia unaonyesha sababu ya Mungu kutaka kumpa Adamu msaidizi anayemfaa: “Si vema huyo mtu awe peke yake.” Ili malezi ya wanadamu yatokee, Adamu alipaswa kupata wazao; kwa hiyo bila shaka alihitaji mwanamke.
