WHAT is different about this picture? Yes, there are people here. They were the first man and woman. Who made them? God. Do you know his name? That is Jehovah. The man and woman were called Adam and Eve.
Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden God did this when he created Adam. He took dust to the ground and from it he made a perfect body, a man's body. Then he blew the man's nose, and Adam came to life. Jehovah told Adam to name all the animals.
Adam may have been watching them for a long time, so he could choose the best name for them. Then Adam saw something. Do you know what that is? All animals are married. There are elephant dads and elephant mothers, and there are dads of lions and mother lions. But Adam was not married.
So God gave Adam a deep sleep. God took a rib on Adam's side and made it a woman for him. This was Adam's wife. Adam and Eve are now very happy. They can have children and live happily ever after. Jehovah wants Adam and Eve to live forever.
He wanted them to beautify the whole earth like the garden of Eden. Do you want to join the landscaping to make it a beautiful garden? But the happiness of Adam and Eve did not last long. Let's see why.
Psalm 83:18; Genesis 1: 26-31; 2: 7-25
Genesis 1: 26-31 26
Then God said: "Let man be made according to our likeness, b according to our likeness, * c and they shall have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowls of heaven and upon every living creature and every creeping thing. animals upon the face of the earth, and they shall preserve the whole earth. ”d 27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; He created them male and female.e 28 Also, God blessed them and said: "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and bring in the fish of the sea, and the creeping things of the heavens and every living creature roaming the earth. ” 29 Then God said: “I give you every seed-bearing seed on the face of the whole earth and every tree bearing fruit. These will be food for you.i 30 And to every wild beast of the earth and to every living creature of the heavens and to every living thing * that roams about on the earth, I give all green plants. as food. ”j And that is what happened. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 2: 7-25 7
And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became life. * C 8 In addition, Jehovah God created a garden in Eden, d on the east; there he put the man whom he had formed.e 9 And out of the ground Jehovah God made to grow every tree that looks good and has good fruit, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.g 10 And a river went out of Eden watering the garden. And from there it was divided into four rivers. *
11 The name of the first was Pison; that is the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 The gold is of high quality in that land and also has fragrant resin * and onix stone. 13 The name of the second river is Gihon; that is the whole land of Cus. 14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel, * which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. 15 Jehovah God put man in the garden of Eden to tend it and take care of it.k 16 Jehovah God also commanded man:
“From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day you eat from it you will surely die. ”m 18 Then Jehovah God said: “It is not good for the man to continue by himself. I will make him a helper that he may enjoy. ” to know what it would call each other. Whatever a man may call every living creature, * that is his name.o 20 So the man named all the domestic animals and flying creatures in heaven and every wild animal in the field, but the man had no helper be his partner. 21 So the man Jehovah God caused to fall into a deep sleep. While he was sleeping, God took one of the man's ribs and closed the flesh on it. 22 And the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 Then the man said: “.
“In the end, it's bone in my bones,
And flesh of my flesh.
It's going to be called Woman, Because he was taken from the man. ”Q 24
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and lives with * his wife, and they become one flesh.r 25 And they remained naked, the man and his wife; but they are not ashamed.
God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; He created them male and female.e Also, God blessed them and said,Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and bring in the fish of the sea, and the creeping things of the heavens and every living creature roaming the earth. ” 29 Then God said: “I give you every seed-bearing seed on the face of the whole earth and every tree bearing fruit. These will be food for you.i 30 And to every wild beast of the earth and to every living creature of the heavens and to every living thing * that roams about on the earth, I give all green plants
