Genesis chapter 2

God planted a garden, Eden,located in the east and put the human there to live
.But every tree lovely to look at and good for food in the middle of the garden put the tree of life and the tree of knowledge good and evil.
The river that supplies the garden of Eden splits up into four rivers. The rivers are Pishon, Gihon, Tigirs, and Euphrates.
God told to human Adam that he could eat every fruit of the garden from any tree except from the tree of knowledge, good and evil
God decided that it was not good for human to be alone so puts Adam in a deep slumber. While he was asleep, god took one of his ribs and turned it into a woman.

Genesis Chapter 3

The serpent convinced Eve to eat an apple from the forbidden tree.
God found out that they ate from the forbidden tree because Adam and Eve felt they should hide because they were naked. Eating a fruit from the tree would make them realize good from bad.
God curses the snake. He tells it that it must travel on it's belly and it will eat dust for the rest of its life.
God also curses the snake and the woman by being enemies. The snake will bite the heels of her children and they will "trample" the snake.
The woman is cursed with painful childbirth and her man should rule her.
The man is cursed as well having to work for his food by growing it from the ground.
God said that man can take from the tree of life and live forever since they knew of good and evil
God sent Adam to till the soil from where he was born. East of the Garden of Eden a cherubim and flame of the whirling sword to guard the tree of life.

Abel's offerings were regarded but Cain's offerings were not.
God tells Cain that the choice of sining is tempting but he must get over it
Cain takes his brother Abel into the field and kills him
God finds out that Cain has killed his brother and punishes him. God tells Cain that the soil he tills will no longer be his strength. He curses Cain as a "restless wanderer". God makes sure Cain cannot escape from his punishment by giving him a special marking warning others to not slay him
