Discovering the Divine Plan: Dust vs. Ground in Human Formation

Why did God Form Humans from Dust? Why not Ground? What’s the difference between dust and ground? Genesis 2:7 The Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground… The animals were made from earth (Genesis 1:24 ); man doesn’t even get that distinction. Ground is: H127 אֲדָמָה ʼădâmâh soil (from its general redness): KJV translations - country, earth, ground, husband(-man) (-ry), land. Husbandry relates to the cultivation of plants and animals. Life. Dust is: H6083 עָפָר ʻâphâr dust (as powdered or gray) KJV - ashes, dust, earth, ground, morter, powder, rubbish. Humans relate to ashes and rubbish. No life here. That’s one side of our human negative makeup; thankfully, there’s a positive side we’ll see. More details in the book Mind-Body Problem Solved and in this video. Watch the next video
