God creates man and woman, and places them in a beautiful garden called Eden. He tells them they can eat from any tree in the garden except one tree. They were not supposed to eat from that tree.
Commentary
Genesis chapter 2 is the second chapter of the book of Genesis in the Bible. It is the second of five books of the Torah, and it is the first book of the Bible's Old Testament. In this chapter, God creates the world and all of its inhabitants.
The chapter begins with God resting on the seventh day after creating the world. He then creates man from the dust of the ground and breathes life into him. God then places man in the Garden of Eden and gives him instructions to tend to the garden and not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
