'Father' in the Bible

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

And the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), knowing [how to distinguish between] good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take from the tree of life as well, and eat [its fruit], and live [in this fallen, sinful condition] forever”—
