Conclusion of the First Man and Woman

The animals all had mates.There were papa elephants and mama elephants, and there were papa lions and mama lions. But Adam had no one to be his mate. So Jehovah made Adam to fall into a deep sleep, and he took a rib bone from his side. Using this rib, Jehovah made a woman for Adam, and she became his wife. 

How happy Adam was now!  And think how happy Eve must have been to be put in such a beautiful garden to live!  Now they could have children and live together in happiness.

Jehovah wanted Adam and Eve to live forever. He wanted them to make the whole earth as pretty as the garden of Eden. How happy Adam and Eve must have been when they thought about doing this! Would  you have liked to share in making the earth a pretty garden?  But the happiness of Adam and Eve did not last.  Let's find out why. 


Psalm 83:18; Genesis 1:26-31; 2:7-25.
