In Genesis 3:19, Elohim (God) says to Adam: “You are soil (עָפָר – dry earth) and to soil you shall return.”

We know that all human bodies have the same chemical composition of the earth – the land of the world, and no matter what position you may enjoy in life’s society upon the earth, death is going to bring you down to the level of all humans – the dry land itself.

You will become a part of the dry land itself upon dying.

Death is the great equaliser. This fact should deeply humble ourselves.

Does it then not behoove us to deal faithfully in our lives and respectfully in all our human interactions?

All humans equal

Eve became the mother of all living (Gen 2:20).

The human (אָדָם – Adam) was created on the sixth day (יוֹם – day, period or time – Gen 1:31) and given the mandate by God (אֱלֹהִים – Elohim– Gen 1:28) to fill and subdue (כָּבַשׁ – dominate) the earth – the land. This instruction implies the entire human race, and since the entire human race came from one source, Eve, then the entire human race has the equal responsibility of filling and subduing the land – not one group of people above the other.

Note: The argument that Eve could not have been the mother of all humans is refuted by the fact that she had sons and daughters and they interbred in this permitted initial dispensation of strength of the human bloodline, and by recent archaeological evidence that the human race sprang from a single source (http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/human-migration.html).
