Why Did Yah Make Male and Female?




Again, it is important to remember that this charge to have dominion was given to man. Let us look again at Genesis 5:1-2: “When Yah created man, he made him in the likeness of Yah. He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them ‘man.’” “Man” is the name of the species Yah made. How, then, did Yah go about creating male and female, and why did He create them?




Yah took man and placed him in two separate physical “houses” so that He could fulfill His purposes for humanity and for the world. Therefore, although spirits have no gender, the houses in which they live do. The first house Yah made was the male, the second house Yah made was the female.




Yah created man, but He made male and female.




Genesis 1:26-27 implies that the process through which Yah created man was different from the process through which Yah formed the male and female. We can think of the distinction in this way: Yah created man, but He made male and female. The word “made” in verse 26 and “created” in verse 27 are different words. The word make is the Hebrew word asah, and it means to form out of something that is already there. The word “created” is bara, and it means to form out of nothing. These verses say that Yah created man in His own image, but that Yah also made man. Yah used both of these words in reference to how He brought man into existence. In effect, He was saying, “I will both make him and create him. I will make him out of nothing and I will make him out of something.”




The way in which man came into existence reflects this idea. Yah created man out of His own being rather than out of anything from the physical world. Man was not created from matter; man came out of Yah’s Spirit. Yah created man to be a spirit, as He Himself is. Therefore, the part of man that was made from “nothing” came out of Yah. Yah spoke him into existence, similar to the way in which He spoke, “Let there be light,’ and there was light” (Genesis 1:3). Yet when Yah made male and female, He used material from the physical world that He had already created.




Creation of the Male




When Yah gave the spirit-man dominion over a physical earth, he gave him a physical body so that he could live and function in the world and rule over it. “The Most High Yah formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being” (Genesis 2:7). Yah formed a house from the dust of the ground; this house was the male. Then Yah housed the spirit-man in the male. Therefore, part of the male was created out of Yah’’s Spirit and part of the male was made out oof dust, out of the dirt of the ground. Yah took what He had created (the spirit-man) and put it inside what He had made (the man’s body). Then He placed the male in the Garden of Eden so that the man could rule what Yah had already created (the earth) through what Yah had made (the man). “Now The Most High Yah had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed… The Most High took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it” (Genesis 2:8, 15).




Creation of the Female




In Genesis 2:7-17, we see that,at first, only the spirit- man in the male (the male-man) is ruling in the Garden. If Yah created man for the purpose of having a relationship of love, and then placed him in the male so that he could carry out his dominion over the world, what motivated Yah to make the female?




When Yah placed the man in the male, Yah and man could still give and receive love through their spirits. However, because the man now had a physical body, he also needed someone with whom to share human and physical love. This is a reflection of man’s creation in the image of Yah. Yah is love. Man came from love and is made up of love, and love cannot dwell alone.




“The Most High Yah said, ‘It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him’” (Genesis 2:18). Do you sense the spirit of that verse? Even though the man within the male had communion with Yah, the male needed love. Genesis 2:19-20 tells us,




Now The Most High Yah had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.




The male-man had a problem. Yah told him, “You have the animals but they aren’t like you.” Animals were created for man’s enjoyment, and although they can give us some comfort, they cannot truly fulfill a person’s need for love.




Some people know that they need love of other humans, but they are not brave enough to pursue it. They don’t have the capacity to put aside their pride or their fears so they can risk love with another human being. Therefore, they turn to animals for companionship. You see, a dog can’t answer back or tell you about your faults. A cat can’t point out your weaknesses. That’s why some people would rather love dogs and cats than other people. Yet animals are not of the same essence as humans, and so love isn’t a complete or fulfilling one.




Yah presented every animal to the man, but none was suitable for him. There was none to whom he could relate, none who could help him in his proprietorship of the earth. So Yah said, “It’s not good for man to be alone in one body.” It is impossible for love to love alone. So Yah created the woman, the female-man.




The first principal to note regarding the woman is that she was created as a result of something beautiful. Woman came about because of love.; it was love that caused her existence. The primary purpose of the female was to be loved by the male, just as Yah’s major purpose for creating the spirit-man was to give him love. Having dominion was secondary.




What was the method Yah used to create the female?




The Most High Yah caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then The Most High Yah made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. (Genesis 2:21-22)




Yah’s creation of the female parallels His creation of the man.




Yah’s creation of the female is fascinating because it exactly parallels His creation of man. Just as Yah had drawn man from Himself and created him as a spiritual being, He drew the woman out of the man and made her a physical being. Yah, who is love, needed someone to whom to give His love, and so He created man out of Himself. Similarly, the male needed someone to whom to give his love, and so Yah created the female from the male’s own body. This parallel in creation illustrates the oneness and mutual love that Yah and man and male and female were created to have.




The word “rib” in Genesis 2:22 is the Hebrew word tesla. It does not necessarily mean a rib as we understand the word. It could mean “side” or “chamber”. In any event, the Scripture is telling us that Yah drew the woman from a part of the man. Why? It is because the receiver has to be exactly like the giver. Just as man needed to be spirit in order to receive love from Yah and be in relationship with Him, the woman needed to be of the same essences as man in order to receive love from him and be in relationship with him.




That is why Yah did not go back to the soil to fashion another house when He formed the female. If He had done that, she would not have been the exact duplicate of the man. She would have not been made of the essence of the male, the way humanity was made of the essence of Yah. So Yah took exactly what was needed from the male to make an exact replica, and He created the woman.




Now, while males and females are of the same essence, and while the woman is a replica of the man, Yah actually made them using different methods. The Bible says that the man was “formed” of the dust of the earth (Genesis 2:7). The Hebrew word for formed is Yatsar, meaning to mold, as a potter molds clay. However, the Bible says that Yah “made” the woman (Genesis 2:22). The Hebrew word for made is banah, which means to “build” or “construct.”




When Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:8, “Man did not come from woman, but woman from man,” he was referring to this passage in Genesis. Yah took the woman out of the man and built her. This is how I picture it: Yah built her by multiplying cells that He had taken from the man, similar to what happens in the womb after a fertilized egg is implanted there. The cells begin to multiply and a new human being begins to be constructed.




So there was this beautiful structuring in the creation of woman. When Yah had finished making her, she was exactly like the man. She was so much in likeness to him that, when Yah presented her to the man, his first words were, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man” (Genesis 2:23). The man’s words are both beautiful and instructive. Something that is built has the same components as the material from which it is made or from which it comes. Therefore, Yah built the female out of the part that He took from the male so that they would be made of exactly the same substance.




A Perfect Complement




The female-man is the perfect complement to the male-man. She is man because she came from man and has a spirit. Her physical house is also like the male’s. She is bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh. She is the same as a man, and that is why she can give and receive love and be in relationship with him.




A Distinct Creation




Because the female came from the male, the male is essentially the giver, and the female is essentially the receiver. Thus, Yah fashioned the woman to be the receiver. If you look at the way the female body is made, she is a receiver from A to Z. This is part of the purpose for which she was created. Her receiving compliments the male’s giving. The woman is like the man because the receiver has to be exactly like the giver. However, in order for the woman to be the receiver, she also has to be different from the man.




The female is both the same as and different from the male.




Though the woman was taken from the man and was built to be like him, she is a distinct creation. This is highlighted in her physical difference from the man in that she is able to bear children. You could say that a woman is a “wombed man.” She is a man with a womb. She is still the same as a male, but she has certain differences. These differences are complementary in nature and are designed so that the male and female can fulfill one another’s emotional and physical needs while they are spiritually nourished by Yah and His love, and so that together they can fulfill their mandate to have dominion over the world.




Different By Design




Males and females were created both similarly and differently in order to fulfill Yah’s purpose. Remember the two main principles of purpose?




The purpose of something determines its nature (or design).

The nature of something determines its needs.




Man and women were created with complementary designs that reflect their individual roles in the larger purposes for which they were created. In the next teaching we’ll look at the implications of their complementary roles and discover what put their perfect symmetry out of balance.
