blogger and ebook author, JustinTime A Study Circle Conversation on Genesis 2:21–25 On a quiet Thursday evening, three Bible students — Anna , Ben , and Caleb — gathered around a wooden table with open Bibles, notepads, and warm coffee. Their assignment was simple: reflect deeply on Genesis 2:21–25 — the creation of woman and the first marriage. 🔹 The Passage (Genesis 2:21–25, ESV — summarized) God causes a deep sleep to fall upon Adam.
