God planted a garden eastward, in Eden. This garden has been called
Paradise. And out of the ground God made to grow every tree that is
pleasant to the sight; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden;
and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And God put man in the
garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it, and He said: Of every tree of
the garden thou mayest freely eat; but of the tree of knowledge thou
shalt not eat; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely
die--God said also: It is not good that the man should be alone; I will
make him a help, answering to him. And God brought all living creatures
to Adam to see what he would call them, and whatsoever Adam called every
creature, that was the name thereof; but for man there was not found a
help meet for him. And God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and He
took one of his ribs and made thereof a woman and brought her unto him.
Then Adam said: This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she
shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall
a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,
and they shall be one flesh.--Adam was the first man, and Eve was the
first woman.--They were innocent, and knew neither sin, nor sorrow, nor
sickness, nor death. (Gen. 2.)
