THUS the heaven and the earth, and all the host of them were finished. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created in the day that LORD God made the earth and the heaven. Before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the erath and there was no man to till the ground; But a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostril the breath of life; and man became a living being. The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasnt to the sight and good for food. The tree of life which was also in the midst of the garden. and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four river heads. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirits the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. The name of The name of the second river Gihon; it is the one which goes around whole land of cush. The name of the third river is  Hiddekel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria. The forth river is Euphrates. Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the  garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And  the LORD God commanded the man, saying," Of every tree of the garden you may feerly eat; But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day you eat of it you shall die." 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 / man to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam / man call each living creature, that was its name.   So Adam / man gave names to all the cattle, to the bird of the field. But for Adam / man there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam / man, and he slept; and took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.  Then the rib  which the LORD God had taken from man / Adam He made a woman, and brought her to the man. And Adam / man said: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall 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. And they were naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. GENESIS 2:1-25 

                                              NOW the serpent was more cunning than any beast  of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, `You shall not eat of every tree of the garden; And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.` " Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." So when the woman saw that ther tree was good for food, that it was pleasnat to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also give her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves covering. And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam / man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. Then the LORD God called to Adam / man and said to him, " Where are you?"  So he said, "I heard Your voice in the garden, and I hid myself."  And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I command you that you should not eat?"

                                       Then the man said, 'The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I eat." So the LORD God said to the woman, " What is this you have done?" The woman said," The serpent decieved me, and I ate."  So the LORD God to the serpent: "Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go, and you shall eat the dust all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel."  To the woman He said: I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall ve for your husband, and he shall rule over you." And to Adam / man He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, `You shall not eat of it`: "Cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life. Both throns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat the herb of the field. In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you are taken; for the dust you are  and to dust you shall return." And Adam  / man called his wife`s name Eve, because she was mother of all living. Also for Adam / man and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothing them.

                Then the LORD God said," Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand  and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever" - Therefore the LORD God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. So He drove the man; and placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. GENESIS 3:1-24
