'Good’ means suitable – and any ethical sense we associate with the word, such as to do a good deed, is really quite a modern concept.* This fits our text admirably, for God sees that it is unsuitable for Adam to be alone. There is recognition that just as God is Trinity, three persons in one essence, humanity is in need of community to flourish. Hence, God creates a partner for Adam. We can conclude that God consistently looks for the good, and cannot live comfortably within its opposite – with ‘bad’ meaning unsatisfactory.
