13. Commentary
• The woman is the perfect counterpart of man,
possessing neither inferiority nor superiority, but being
like and equal in personhood, and unique and
different in function.
• (Genesis 2:18) emphasizes man’s need for a companion, a
helper, and an equal. He was incomplete without
someone to complement him in fulfilling the task of filling,
multiplying, and taking dominion over the earth.
• This points to Adam’s inadequacy, not Eve’s
insufficiency. Woman was made by God to meet man’s
deficiency
