In Genesis 2, the creation story zooms in on humanity’s beginning. God forms Adam from the dust and breathes life into him, placing him in the beautiful Garden of Eden, filled with rivers and trees, including the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam is given the task of tending the garden and naming the animals, but no companion is found for him. So, God creates Eve from Adam’s rib, establishing the first human relationship. The chapter ends with a picture of innocence, as the man and woman live in harmony, unaware of shame.
