Adam: The First Adam:
Genesis 3:
"The
serpent was the the shrewdest of all the wild animals the LORD God had
made. One day he asked the woman, "Did God really say you must not eat
the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?"
"Of
course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden," the woman
replied. "It's only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden
that we are not allowed to eat. God said, 'You must not eat it or even
touch it; if you do, you will die.' "
"You
won't die!" the serpent replied to the woman. "God knows that your
eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God,
knowing both good and evil."
The
woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit
looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she
took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband,
who was with her, and he ate it, too. At that moment their eyes were
opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed
fig leaves together to cover themselves.
When
the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the
LORD God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the LORD God
among the trees. Then the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?"
He replied, "I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked."
"Who told you that you were naked?" the LORD God asked. "Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?"
The man replied, "It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit and I ate it."
Then the LORD God asked the woman, "What have you done?"
"The serpent deceived me," she replied. "That's why I ate it."
Then the LORD God said to the serpent,
"Because
you have done this, you are cursed more than all animals, domestic and
wild. You will crawl on your belly, groveling in the dust as long as
you live.
And
I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your
offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head and you will
strike his heel."
Then he said to the woman,
I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy, and in pain you will give birth.
And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you."
And to the man he said,
"Since
you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded
not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you.
All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it.
It will grow thorns and thistles for you, though you will eat its grains.
By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made.
For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return."
Then
the man - Adam - named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of
all who live. And the LORD God made clothing from animal skins for
Adam and his wife.
Then
the LORD God said, "Look, the human beings have become like us, knowing
both good and evil. What if they reach out, take fruit from the tree
of life, and eat it? Then they will live forever!" So the LORD God
banished them from the Garden of Eden, and he sent Adam out to cultivate
the ground from which he had been made. After sending them out, the
LORD God stationed mighty cherubim to the east of the Garden of Eden.
And he placed a flaming sword that flashed back and forth to guard the
way to the tree of life."
