Genesis 2:24

‘The two people become one body.’ From the beginning, God intended that a man should have only one wife. But after this time many men had several wives. And from the beginning, God intended that a man and his wife should stay together. But after this time some people divorced each other. (See Deuteronomy 24:1-4.) Jesus referred to this verse (Genesis 2:24) and he said that people should not divorce. (See Matthew 19:5-6, or read all of Matthew 19:3-9.)

Lord ~ a lord is a person who has authority. ‘The Lord’ means God. It is a translation of God’s name. The Hebrews wrote God’s name as YHWH. We may write it as Yahweh.

Hebrew ~ the Hebrew people were Abraham and his descendants. The ancient Hebrew language is the original language of Genesis. It is also the original language of most of the Old Testament (the first part of the Bible). This language is like the modern Hebrew language, which people speak in the country Israel today.

descendants ~ children and grandchildren and later members of the family.
