Exegesis_on_the_Garden_of_Eden

Exegesis on the Garden of Eden “These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created” (Genesis 2:4) . This is the last line of the first creation story. Genesis then goes into another creation story, completely different from the first. The second story deals with a whole new set of questions and answers. Like many passages or stories throughout the Bible, especially in Genesis and Exodus, it is short and simplistic. This story, being one of the first stories in the Bible, is among the most important ones and therefore deserves a close look at what the author, through his telling/writing, was really trying to tell us. There are numerous lessons and rules locked into Genesis 2:4-25 as well as many reoccurring themes and topics. In this exegesis of the story of the “The Garden of Eden” I will be talking about a variety of points including: how it compares/contrasts with the first creation story, how man differs from animals, how man differs from woman, how and why man was created, how and why woman was created, man and woman’s relationship with each other and with God.
