Appendix: Genesis hidden in the Chinese language

The Chinese language is the oldest, continuously written language in the world. It was first written over 4,500 years ago. And some Chinese characters seem to refer to first book of the bible (Genesis). A few examples:

 

The Chinese character for “to create” consists of four components, and seems to refer to the creation of “Man” – later called: Adam:

  • Dust or mud: God has created Adam from dust;

  • Mouth or breath: God breathed into the nostrils of Adam;

  • Movement or life: Adam became alive;

  • Able to walk: Adam was directly able to walk (and to speak).

​

“Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils, and the man became a living person.” (Genesis 2 verse 7)

The Chinese character for “to covet, to desire” consists of two components, and seems to refer to the Fall:

  • Two trees: the tree of life, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil;

  • A woman: “Woman” – later called: Eve – desired the fruit of the only forbidden tree.
