In the first creation story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a), God created man in his own image and gave him dominion over every living thing. However, in the second creation story (Genesis 2:4b-2:20), Adam was not given dominion over the earth, but was instead made a servant of the earth. Here, the beasts were created as his possible companions, not for him to have dominion over them.

Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that once we recognise the independence of the two creation stories, we must scrupulously avoid reading into the second story any facts or notions taken from the first, and vice versa. Thus, in reading about the origin of man in the story of the Garden of Eden, we must not say or even think that man is here created in God's image or that man is to be the ruler over the animals. The story of Adam and Eve belongs in the second creation story only, and God did not delegate his authority to Adam.

Can you deligate authority?

Deligate is the incorrect word for what is meant, deligate actually means to bind up or bandage. The correct word is delegate which is most commonly associated with politics when an individual is sent to represent a group such as a state. The concept is to entrust certain powers or authority to an individual. In the above example the delegate is given power or authority to vote for a candidate. In business or any other situation the concept is the same; a manager can delegate tasks or responsibilities. This would be to delegate authority to get the job done. In legal matters one can use the Power of Attorney to give his or her authority to sign documents to another, this would be delegating authority to another. Another term to describe this concept is Delegated Authority.


Why do managers delegate authority?

It is impossible for a manager in a huge company to deal with everything. So, if you delegate authority, you break your work into several peaces hire people and let them manage instead of you. You are still responsible for your work but let others somehow help you. For example, you are a top manager and are responsible for several departments (marketing, R&D, HR, etc) you hire Marketing manager for example and you delegate authority.


How would Adam and Eve have described God?

A:Genesis 3:8 describes God walking in the Garden in the cool of the day. God talked to Adam and Eve face to face, just as another person would, and seems not to have known that they had eaten the forbidden fruit until they said they were naked and ashamed. If Adam and Eve were ashamed in their nakedness, presumably God always wore clothes, although this is not stated. So to Adam and Eve, God would have seemed just like another man, except that he had authority over them.
