• The creation of the woman, Eve, as a companion for Adam. Yahweh, after forming the animals and allowing Adam to give them names, recognizes Adam’s loneliness. He then creates Eve from a rib of Adam, showing their equality and complementarity. This passage highlights the importance of companionship and intimate connection in human relationships. Furthermore, it establishes the institution of marriage as a divine union between man and woman, reflecting the image of Elohim and proclaiming unity and intimacy as fundamental elements of marriage

• The fall of mankind. The serpent tempts Eve to disobey Yahweh, who had forbidden them to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eve, influenced by the serpent, and Adam, who also eats of the fruit, sin against Elohim. As a consequence, they experience shame and the knowledge of good and evil. Yahweh pronounces curses on the serpent, the woman and the man, including pain in childbirth and hard labor. This passage reveals the consequences of sin and the need for redemption.

In summary, in this study we will see that all of Yahweh’s creation has its perfect purpose. To deviate from this purpose is what will bring us pain and suffering, such as that experienced by Adam and Eve in the garden because of their disobedience to Yahweh’s commands. Let us remember that Yahweh desires that we obey and love him above all things.
