We all know the famous verse from the story of creation, that tell us about the consolation between the Lord and his angels about the creation of the man, as written in Genesis 1:26-

“וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים, נַעֲשֶׂה אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵנוּ כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ; וְיִרְדּוּ בִדְגַת הַיָּם וּבְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם, וּבַבְּהֵמָה וּבְכָל-הָאָרֶץ, וּבְכָל-הָרֶמֶשׂ, הָרֹמֵשׂ עַל-הָאָרֶץ.”

“And God said: ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.’

The only thing that is missing according to genesis rabbah in this story is the arguments between the angels. In Genesis 1 we are not in arguments, The Lord commended and created. Yet, I am sure that before that created the one who will replace/help in controlling the world- the angels spoke with each other saying, maybe being afraid that the man will replace or threaten them!

Some probably said: this man shouldn’t be created; some said: let this man created to this world, we are not feeling in tense, he is in the ground; we are up in the skies.

According to sages the angels were fighting and God created the man- they are learning from the last verse of chapter 1 with the grade that God gave to his creation

(Very good) the Hebrew world for man – those are the same letters- Mem, Aleph and Dalet as written:

“וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים אֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה, וְהִנֵּה-טוֹב מְאֹד;..”

“And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good…”
