2. Adam and Eve

• On that day, the LORD had made the heaven and the earth, and had put the plants in the ground.
• But it had not yet rained, and God had not yet created a gardener.
• And so the LORD made a spring to rise up and water the whole garden,
• And the LORD God formed man from dust, and breathed into him the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

• The LORD planted a Garden in Eden, and there he put Adam; the man whom he had formed.
• Then in the garden the LORD brought forth from the ground every tree, every fruit, and every flower.
• And in the middle of the garden, God planted the tree of Life; and beside it, the tree of Good and Evil.

• Then the LORD showed man the world outside the garden;
• A river flowed through Eden and then out of it, and became four rivers
• The Pishon, Gihon, Tigris and Euphrates.
• They were wondrous, fertile lands filled with gold and gemstones.

• Then God put Adam into the garden so that he may work the land.
• God told Adam only one rule: “You may eat from any tree in the garden, but you should not eat from the tree of Good and Evil.”
• “For on the day you eat it, your death will become inevitable.”

• God said, “It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a wife for him.”
• So the Lord God, who had formed every animal of the ground, and every bird of the heavens, then brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whichever name Adam gave them became it's name forever.
• Thus Adam saw every animal of creation, male and female after their kinds; but for Adam, no suitable help was found.

• And God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and God took one of his ribs.
• And God built the rib into a woman: and brought her before Adam.
• Then Adam said, “Now, this one has the same flesh and bones as I do; she shall be called Woman, because from out of Man she was taken.”
• Thus Adam and Eve became Man and Wife.

1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Dåid God really say 'You shall not eat of every tree in the garden?'”

2 And the woman said to the serpent, “The fruit of the trees in the garden we may eat,”

3 “but the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, or you will die.'”

4 And the serpent said to the woman, “You shall not surely die!”

5 “for God knows that on the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you shall be like gods, knowing good and evil.

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food[a], and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took[b] of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband who was there with her[c], and he ate.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, “Because you have done this, more cursed are you than all cattle, and moreso than every beast of the field; upon your belly you will go, and you will eat dust all the days of your life,

15 and I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your descendants and her descendants: they shall strike your head, and you shall strike their heel.”

16 Unto the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception: in pain you shall bring forth children, and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over you.”

17 And unto Adam he said, “Because you listened to the voice of thy wife in eating from the tree, despite that which I commanded you, saying, 'Thou shalt not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; with labour and toil shall you eat thereof all the days of your life;

18 thorns and thistles it shall yield to you; and you shall eat the herbs of the field;”

19 by the sweat of your brow shall you eat bread, till you return unto the earth, out of which you were taken; For you are dust, and unto dust you shall return.”

20 And the man called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living people.

21 And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife clothing of animal skins, and clothed them.

22 And the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever—”

23 therefore the LORD God sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the earth from which he was taken.

24 So he cast out Adam; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned in every direction, to guard the way to the tree of life.
