Which translation of Eve's words in Genesis 4:1 does Les prefer?
The preferred translation reads Eve's words as 'I have gotten a man-child, even Jehovah,' rather than the King James 'from the Lord' or the revised version margin 'with the help of Jehovah.' This rendering identifies the man-child with Jehovah. This is the rendering that is preferred.
Les explains that the King James Version renders Eve's statement as 'I have gotten a man from the Lord' or 'from Jehovah.' The revised version margin suggests 'I have gotten a man-child with the help of Jehovah.' But Les prefers the rendering found in other translations: 'I have gotten a man-child, even Jehovah.' He says this translation makes us think, and he connects it to Genesis 3:15, where God speaks of enmity between Satan and the woman, and between Satan's seed and her seed.
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
