The story begins with God then created herb bearing seed and covered the earth with it. He then created man from dust to till the land. God saw that he created everything and everything was good. God's first man creation was Adam. He told them that Adam can eat the meat from the trees in the garden, however they should not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. "If you were to eat from it, they would surely die", he told Adam. Adam went tot work on the land and gave names to all the animals that roam, flew, and swam on earth. God put Adam to sleep and took a rib and created a woman called Eve. God told the two to be fruitful and replenish the earth. They both were naked and were not ashamed.
In The Fall, a serpent came to the woman and begged the women to eat from the tree. She said that she was told not to and God said they would die. However, the serpent told Eve that the God would not punish her like that. After eating the fruit, Eve took the fruit to Adam and told him to eat it with her. After refusing, Adam ate the fruit with Eve. Both their eyes were opened and they were ashamed in what they did, so they took leaves from a fig tree to cover their bodies. God asked Adam why they did this and he said Eve told him and she was lied to by the Serpent.
While this happened Satan rebelled against God and wouldn't give him the praise! Trying to become more than God, God banished Satan to earth. Adam and Eve still awaited their punishments from God. God had talked to Sarah and told Eve that she is consisted of ten curses which is seen physically, spiritually, and social state of woman today. Adam was punished tenfold. HE lost his celestial clothing and is made to earn his daily bread every day. The food was made into bad, his body sweat, and his body was to prey on worms.
