Edit: Answers are being given here: Did eve say “I have created a man just as the LORD did!”?


NET Version: "I have created a man just as the LORD did!" (Genesis 4:1)

Most other translations have her giving credit to the Lord, whereas this one has her pretending to be a Godess.

While this translation at first surprised me, it seems consistent in it's own way to Eve's original desire to be a God, whereas the other versions seem to have her hoping in God.

The variation seems diametrically opposed to the traditional thought "The Lord has helped me"

Is there a biblical or translational reason to think this might be accurate?
