(Genesis 2:7) says God formed man from "the dust of the ground." The Targum Jonathan says something far more specific. God took dust from the place of the Beit HaMikdash (בית המקדש), the site of the future Temple, mixed it with dust from the four winds of the world and all the waters of the world, and created Adam in three colors: red, black, and white. This is not a minor embellishment. It means the first human was built from the holiest spot on earth before the Temple even existed, and his body contained the entire planet in miniature.
The Targum also specifies that God created Adam "in two formations," a phrase the Talmud (Berakhot 61a) connects to the two yods in the Hebrew word va-yitzer (וַיִּיצֶר), suggesting God formed both a good inclination and an evil inclination within the same body. Where Genesis says God breathed life into Adam, the Targum says God breathed into him "the inspiration of a speaking spirit," making the power of language the defining feature of humanity.
Eden gets transformed too. The garden was "planted by the Word of the Lord God before the creation of the world" for the righteous. This is the "Eden of the Just," existing before time itself. The Tree of Life was so enormous that its height was "a journey of five hundred years," a measurement that appears in multiple Talmudic sources. God placed Adam in this garden not to simply tend it but "to do service in the law, and to keep its commandments." Adam was the first Torah scholar. The garden was the first study hall.
Even the creation of Eve carries a surgical precision absent from Genesis. God took "the thirteenth rib of the right side." And the chapter closes with a devastating revision. Where Genesis says Adam and Eve were "naked and not ashamed," the Targum says they were "wise but not faithful in their glory." The fall has not happened yet, but the Targum already sees it coming.
