Adam: The First Adam:
Genesis 2:4-25:
"When
the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, neither wild plants nor
grains were growing on the earth. For the LORD God had not yet sent
rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate the
soil. Instead, springs came up from the ground and watered all the
land. Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He
breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils, and the man,
became a living person.
Then
the LORD God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he placed
the man he had made. The LORD God made all sorts of trees grow up from
the ground - trees that were beautiful and that produced delicious
fruit. In the middle of the garden he placed the tree of life and the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
A
river flowed from the land of Eden, watering the garden and then
dividing into four branches. The first branch, called the Pishon,
flowed around the entire land of Havilah, where gold is found. The gold
of that land is exceptionally pure; aromatic resin and onyx stone are
also found there. The second branch, called the Gihon, flowed around
the entire land of Cush. The third branch, called the Tigris, flowed
east of the land of Asshur. The fourth branch is called the Euphrates.
The
LORD God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over
it. But the LORD God warned him, "You may freely eat the fruit of every
tree in the garden - except the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die."
Then
the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will
make a helper who is just right for him." So the LORD God formed from
the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky. He
brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and the man
chose a name for each one. He gave names to all the livestock, all the
birds of the sky, and all the wild animals. But still there was no
helper just right for him.
So
the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man
slept, the LORD God took out one of the man's ribs and closed up the
opening. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib, and he brought
her to the man.
"At last!" the man exclaimed.
"This one is bone from my bone, and flesh!
She will be called 'woman,' because she was taken from man.' "
This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.
Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame."
