Question Title

* 3. Is there another Hebrew word that could have been used in Genesis 2:24 that would have more clearly indicated the meaning of “body” other than basar?

Question Title

* 4. Is I Corinthians 6:16 legitimate evidence pointing to the translation of “body” for basar in Genesis 2:24?

Question Title

* 5. Since the Brown, Driver, Briggs, and Gesenius lexicon only give “flesh” as a definition in the context of “Flesh as frail or erring (man against God)” would it be better to translate basar as “body” rather than “flesh”?
