Brief Overview of Adam and Eve
After God created Adam, He gave to him dominion over all
His creation and the garden of Eden as a home to tend it
and keep it. But He gave one restriction:
Gen 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying,
"Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; "but of
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not
eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely
die."
Adam would know what it meant to participate in evil, and
the result would be banishment and death. Death is
separation from God.
Then God created the woman:
Gen 2:18-24 And the LORD God said, "It is not good that
man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable
to him." Out of the ground the LORD God formed every
beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought
them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever
Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So
Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air,
and to every beast of the field.
But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to
him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on
Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and
closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the
LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He
brought her to the man. And Adam said: "This is now bone
of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called
Woman, because she was taken out of Man." Therefore a man
shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his
wife, and they shall become one flesh.
