However, the chance came soon. In 2011, when I was researching a Lunar seventh month’s Getai stage which was enjoyed with gods, people and wondering souls 孤魂in one of combine temples, I met Potehi in the backyard of the temple. In the main courtyard, Getai stage was set up and people and the god, Tua ya pek大爺伯 who descended on a tangki 童乩 were enjoying a show. In other place in same temple, it was like a backyard but actually it was faced to the Yinfu 陰府 of the temple, a stage for Potehi was set up, and at the place, I saw the god, Di ya pek二爺伯 who descended on another tangki was enjoying Potehi. At first, I didn’t recognize Di ya pek at all, and very exited to watch Potehi it self just in front of the stage. In front of the stage, there were

In Genesis 1:1–2:3 we can see there is a focalisation on the character of God. The ‘awesome power of this Creator-King God’ is evident is every paragraph, ‘In the beginning when God created’ , ‘God blessed them, and God said to them’ due to the prevalence of God the audience would assume there too would be a detailed description but the reader is left to decide for themselves about who or what they think God is. Genesis 1:1–2:3 uses the literary technique of chiastic patterns to express parallel ideas in detail this is particularly visible in verses

Throughout human history, conflict between families has been at the forefront of many popular narratives, both fiction and non-fiction. Two of the most renown and notorious kinship disputes take place in the Cain and Abel story found in the Book of Genesis and the Bhagavad Gita, a section of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. While family conflicts are the foundation of these prominent narratives, the nature of these conflicts between loved ones and the motivating factors behind them are the differentiating aspects that make each struggle highly unique. In the fourth chapter of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Hebrew Bible, the tale of two brothers and the conflict between them is outlined. The friction between Cain and Abel result in the murder of Abel at the hands of his

Dated back to the 10th century B.C., the story of Adam and Eve is told in Genesis chapters 2 and 3 of the Christian Bible. The creation is the main focus of chapter 2 and their fall and punishment is the main focus in chapter 3. God creates Adam in his image from mud, he blows to his face and gives him life. God presents all of the animals of the land to Adam and he is not satisfied, so God created Eve out of Adams rib as a companion and helper for him, and he is satisfied with Gods work. God commands Adam and Eve to not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But, the serpent persuades Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, and she persuades Adam to do so as well. After they eat the forbidden fruit they realize they are naked

The sin stories in the Book of Genesis address theological, cosmic, social, and ethical questions. These sin stories, The Fall of Man, Cain and Abel, and Noah and the Flood, and The Tower of Babel show the functions of myths and demonstrate man's likeliness to sin. These myths let the readers learn of the culture, beliefs, and foundation of the time.

The beginning two and a the half minutes into the movie describes the beginning of the Book of Genesis including creation, the original sin, the curse of Cain, and anything preceding Noah. The movie continues with Noah as a child, on a hill with his father Lamech, who is about to give him an important heirloom - the skin of the original serpent from Eden- which has been passed down. Then suddenly, a large group of people led by a young king named Tubal-Cain, who wants to make that land into a mine approaches Lamech. Seeing Noah’s father, Tubal-Cain kills him and takes the serpent 's skin, while Noah runs.

      John Steinbeck includes more of the tale of Genesis: 4 than is actually told in the bible.  The basis of this is a Jewish story involving twin sisters of both Cain and Abel.  The two disputed over Abel’s twin whom Abel was to marry.  Cain murdered Abel and wed the twin sister of his brother (Fonterose, Joseph. p.3380).  The story differs also in that it is Abel who leaves his home instead of Cain.  Abel found his Eden, represented by Salinas Valley, but lost it after fathering a second generation very similar to the first, Caleb representing Cain and Aron representing Abel (Fonterose, Joseph. p.3379).  The story is changed by Steinbeck to illustrate

This is a complete contrast within the poem. At the beginning she was travelling South, was pregnant and was relatively happy, now she is returning North, isn't pregnant and is depressed.

The first five chapters of Genesis provide not only historical information about Creation, the Fall, and the first generations of mankind, but they also describe God’s attitude toward His creation and towards sin. These chapters also provide insights into the nature of man. For example, we learn from Genesis 1 and 2 that we have been made in the image of God. This means that humans have authority, value, and purpose because God possesses these traits. The first four chapters of Genesis give us insight into how each of these traits specifically apply to human life and society.

Did you know that the Holy Bible was written over 3500 years ago ("When Was the Bible Written?" - Biblica. N.p., n.d. Web. 21 Sept. 2016.)? In Genesis 1-4, by God this book was written over thousands ago. This story in the Bible is about one great God putting everything we know into existing and creating human however one of the human named Cain gets jealous of his younger brother Abel and kills him. Ultimately, the story portrays the relationship between creation story, jealousies, love, murder and punishment in mankind. In return of God’s creation being jealous, God states the punishment upon Cain however, God still shows love by letting Cain Know that if anybody body tries to kill will suffer sevenfold vengeance (The Norton Anthology World

Genesis is the first book of the Bible.  It begins with the story of God’s creation of the universe.    The Lord is the Almighty Creator of the world, skies, heavens, seas, animals, man, and woman.  He governs the universe and develops relationships with man.  Throughout Genesis, God acknowledges the fact that human beings make mistakes, and accepts their imperfection.  Throughout Genesis, God changes from one who does not tolerate disobedience, to one who shows clemency.  Early on in Genesis, God punishes Adam and Eve for disobedience.  After making the mistake of flooding the world, the Lord realizes that even He is not perfect, and does not allow Jacob’s deceit of his father to taint his future.
