Dumbass - Funny stuff from the Bible

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

For a moment, I thought it was calling someone a dumbass but I think it is calling a certain ass “dumb”.


2 Peter 2:15 KING JAMES VERSION
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; {2:16} But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

 I've always like this for pertinence;  Genesis 27:11 "My brother Esau is a hairy man while I am a smooth skin-----"  (KJV) 

And there's that good ole boy Adam. Being a fucking wimp, when questioned by YHWH, he whines (again) ( Genesis 3:12)  " And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat." Blaming the woman, the second of many, many, many times. Never have liked Adam. Progenitor of the human race? Fuuuuuuck.

Second time? Well depends on whether one believes Jewish apocrypha ; Apparently, Adam's first wife's name was the red headed Lilith. A gutsy broad, when Adam tried to order her about, she told him to get stuffed. So naturally, Adam went whining to YHWH.  Consequently, YHWH smote Lilith and turned her into a demon. According to Jewish folk lore, that's why Jews still considers red headed women unlucky.

"Lilith (/ˈlɪlɪθ/; Hebrew: לִילִית‎, romanized: Līlīṯ) is a demonic figure in Judaic mythology, supposedly the primordial she-demon and alternatively first wife of Adam.[1] She is presumed to be mentioned in Biblical Hebrew in the Book of Isaiah,[2] and later in Late Antiquity in Mandaean Gnosticism mythology and Jewish mythology sources from 500 CE onwards. Lilith appears in historiolas (incantations incorporating a short mythic story) in various concepts and localities[3] that give partial descriptions of her. She is mentioned in the Babylonian Talmud (Eruvin 100b, Niddah 24b, Shabbat 151b, Baba Bathra 73a), in the Book of Adam and Eve as Adam's first wife, and in the Zohar Leviticus 19a as "a hot fiery female who first cohabited with man".[4]"

I saw the apocryphal book about 40 years go. From memory, I think it was called "The Book of Adam And Eve" or some such.
