-
When He made the heavens and earth, there was no plants or animals.
-
A mist often rose from the earth and that watered all the ground.
-
God took dust from the ground and formed a man from it. He breathed into his nose and he became a living person. He named him Adam.
-
God planted a garden in the east, in a place called Eden. He placed that man that He made in the garden.
-
God created beautiful trees that where good for food all around the garden. In the middle of the garden He put the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
-
The river divided into four rivers that were named Pishon, Gihon, Tigris and Euphrates.
-
God commanded him to not eat of the tree that gives knowledge of good and evil. God said he may eat of any other tree, but not the tree of knowledge. Also that if he eats from it, he will die!
-
God said that it was not good for Adam to be alone, so from the ground he made every wild animal and every bird in the sky. He gave them to Adam to name.
-
Adam did not find a suitable helper amongst the animals, so God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While he was asleep He took one of the ribs from Adams body and used it to make a woman. He called her Eve.
-
The snake asked Eve if they really couldn’t eat from the tree of knowledge. She said yes because God said they would die if they did. The snake told her that he was lying and that they would gain knowledge and would be as smart as God if they ate it. So she ate it then gave the fruit to her husband to eat.
-
After they ate the fruit their eyes widened. They realised they were naked, so they wove some fig leaves together to cover themselves. When they heard God they ran and hid. God asked why they hid, and Adam said because he was afraid because he was naked. God asked if they ate the fruit from the tree, and he said Eve gave it to him. Eve said that the snake tricked her. God banished them from the garden for disobeying him.
