Genesis chapter 2 explained the story of how God created man, and how he placed him in the Garden of Eden to tend to it and to live in it.
According to the account in Genesis 2, God created the world and all living things in six days, and on the seventh day he rested. On the sixth day, God created man, whom he formed out of the dust of the ground and breathed life into him.
God then placed the man, whom he named Adam, in the Garden of Eden, a beautiful and perfect place where all the animals lived in harmony and everything grew in abundance. God commanded Adam to tend to the garden and to care for the animals, and he gave him a single rule to follow: he was not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which was in the middle of the garden.
God saw that it was not good for Adam to be alone, so he caused a deep sleep to come over him and took one of his ribs to create a woman, whom he named Eve. Adam and Eve were both naked, but they were not ashamed of their nakedness because they were innocent and pure.
God gave Adam and Eve all the plants in the garden to eat, except for the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He warned them that if they ate of this fruit, they would surely die.
One day, a serpent came to Eve and deceived her into eating the forbidden fruit. Eve then gave some of the fruit to Adam, and he also ate it. As a result, both Adam and Eve became aware of their nakedness and were ashamed. They sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves, and when God came to the garden, they hid from him.
God called out to Adam and asked him why he was hiding. Adam told God that he was afraid because he was naked. God then asked Adam if he had eaten of the forbidden fruit, and Adam admitted that he had.
God was disappointed with Adam and Eve for disobeying him, and he punished them by expelling them from the garden. He also cursed the serpent and declared that it would crawl on its belly and be hated by all other animals.
Despite their disobedience, God promised to always be with Adam and Eve and to provide for them. And so, the story of Adam and Eve and their fall from grace marks the beginning of human history and the consequences of disobedience to God’s will.
