A new book by Jewish scholar Ziony Zevit has caused outrage among Christians and Orthodox Jews because he suggests Eve was created from Adam's baculum, or penis bone
Holy shit! Eve was created from Adam’s prick. Holy shit! Ah, but it seems as though God left Adam with a boneless prick so he could bang Eve with it.
According to the Daily Mail:
The theory, put forward by revered biblical professor Ziony Zevit, suggests God made Eve from Adam's baculum, or penis bone.
To support his theory, Professor Zevit said the Hebrew word 'tsela', taken from the Old Testament, does not translate as 'rib' and instead 'refers to limbs sticking out sideways from an upright human body.'
The word 'tzela' or 'tsela' appears a number of times and in different contexts in the Old Testament, and Professor Zevit said this is what led translators astray.
He claims that the word was used for any part of anatomy protruding from the body, including feet, arms and penis.
Professor Zevit said this explains why man has no baculum, unlike most mammals, and why men don't have an uneven number of ribs compared to women.
Elsewhere, he added that Genesis 2:21, in which God closes the flesh beneath the 'tsela', refers to the flesh that exists on the underside of the penis.
Defending his theory, he wrote that his understanding of how Eve was formed is based on analysis of the use of Hebrew in the Garden story.
Professor Zevit has not only pissed off Christians, but he has infuriated Orthodox Jews as well.
