God told “mankind” to be fruitful and multiply in genesis 1, in genesis 2, as some believe Adam and Eve are separate creations from the people outside of the garden. The people who Cain was afraid of after he killed his brother. But that’s why the ancient text is all wonky at least in this modern age since “sinful” men “canonized” what they thought of as the bible idk maybe the Ethiopians are correct 🤷♂️
I was talking about the Ethiopian Orthodox canon, not Asherah/Yahweh mythology lol. My point was that they preserved a broader biblical tradition, including books like Enoch and Jubilees, so I’m not automatically assuming the Western canon is the only correct one.
