Jan 14, 2015 · Eden had plentiful surface water – in stark contrast to Palestine where Jewish readers of the ‘Tanakh’ (the Old Testament) relied on hauling water up from deep wells. Isaac, for example, during a severe drought, dug four wells near Gerar and Beersheba (see Genesis 26:18-25).

Adam and Eve
Where the first chapter detailed the events of the Creation, this chapter takes a closer look at the creation events that took place, focusing on the creation of man and woman. In just five days God created the heavens, the earth, and light. After creating the animals, he recognized that he needed someone to watch over them, someone to reign at the top of the food chain. He created man. God took dirt, formed a man from it, and breathed life into him. He named the first man, Adam. God created...
The serpent tricks Adam and Eve
In the Garden of Eden was a snake that was deceitful and evil. The snake saw Eve in the garden one day and asked her, Eve explained to the snake that God had indeed told them they could eat anything they wanted but not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge or they would surely die. The snake told Eve, The snake succeeded in tricking the Eve – she ate fruit from the forbidden tree. The fruit looked good and Eve thought it would be nice to know the difference between good and evil. Eve convinced Ad...
All people have responsibilities, things that they need to do or take care of. In God’s plan, if you fail to meet your responsibilities, then you will be held accountable. You are the one to blame and must suffer the consequences of your actions yourself. This is “accountability”. Adam’s responsibility was to care for the garden and obey God. Inste...
Some may find it funny, or puzzling, that God created animals and people out of dust (or dirt). However, note that after we die, our bodies decay and turn back into dust, completing God’s wondrous cycle. The creation of the first man was unique – Adam was formed from dirt or “nothing”. Eve however, was formed from a part of Adam, a rib containing h...
What is Eden?
Eden literally means “delight” or “place of much water” and suggests that the Garden of Eden was a paradise surrounded by water.
Where was the Garden of Eden located?
The Bible gives a few clues to where the Garden of Eden is located. The Bible says: Given the references to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, some people put the location of the Garden of Eden in Iraq (Mesopotamia), somewhere between the cities of Najaf and Kufa. Others think the Garden of Eden was located in Africa because there’s an area there known as Cush and a river called Gihon (although this theory is generally discounted today). Still others theorize that the Garden of Eden was located...
Did Adam and Eve evolve?
The Theory of Evolution is an oft-debated topic between scientists and theologians. Scientists believe that man evolved over time – that certain inherited human characteristics changed with successive generations. Some religious scholars argue that God created Man “as is” while others point out that the Bible really doesn’t take a hard stance either way. It is worthy to note that the Adam and Eve story clearly points out a notable “evolution” in inherent human characteristics. The Adam and Ev...
God calls for Adam. Adam tells God that he hid himself because he was naked. God asks Adam, who told him he was naked? Has Adam ‘eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?’ (3:11). Adam blames Eve for leading him astray, and Eve blames the serpent.
Jan 4, 2022 · Adam and Eve began their life together in paradise, but how long did the two remain in the Garden of Eden until they sinned and were cast out (Genesis 3)? The answer is that we do not know. But, based on other biblical evidence, we can assume that their time in the garden was relatively short.
One approach is that Eve was created from a small section of flesh removed from Adam (as is commonly understood). According to an alternative view, G‑d originally created a dual human being possessing two bodies attached at the back, one male and one female.
