Eden to Ararat: A Ground-clearing Look at the Genesis Curse - Episode 122

Genesis Marks the Spot

Did the Flood reverse the curse of the ground? Carey builds a compelling case for a concept that’s often overlooked—or outright dismissed: that the Flood narrative in Genesis 6–9 isn't just about judgment, but also about restoration—specifically the cleansing of the cursed ground from Genesis 3.

Carey weaves together frame semantics, Hebrew wordplay, literary design (including an overlooked chiasm), and the theological role of Noah as a second Adam. She also unpacks how concepts like "serving the ground," the introduction of agriculture, and the story’s structural symmetry all speak to a larger narrative of renewal.

You’ll also hear:

• A reexamination of Noah’s wife and the role of women in Genesis traditions
  
• The conceptual link between Adam, Cain, and Noah through their relationship with the adamah
  
• A chiasm that might not end where you think it does
  
• A teaser for Carey’s upcoming contribution to the Two Trees Podcast Conference
