Ap Human Geography Chapter 9 Study Guide

Overall, the story focuses on how God took his time making certain things each day and how God rested and made the seventh day holy.

She then moves her focus onto Genesis 4:1-16, looking at the connection between Cain, Adam and Noah. The story of Adam contains Adam being formed out of the ground, and he will eventually end up back in the ground. The word “Adam” itself has roots that go back to the word “ground”, and Genesis links humanity to the ground by saying that humans essentially need to take care of the ground. This is shown in the case of Cain. Cain is a tiller of the ground, and Noah is a man of the ground, thus

Something I did not see earlier was Eve was deceived (she was never given the command from God not to eat of the tree, Adam was before she was created. See Gen. 2:16-17). Adam was openly disobedient and blatantly blamed God and Eve. “The man said, ‘The woman whom You gave to be with me (Blame!), she gave me from the tree, and I ate (Adam’s rationalization)’” (Gen 3:12, NASB).

However, throughout the book, trickery and deception play a key role in the tales told. The third chapter shows the first ever act of deception, which takes place in the Garden of Eden. The “craftiest” animal of all, the serpent, tricks Adam and Eve into doing exactly what God told them not to do--eating forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden (Gen 3:1-13) From the moment Eve ate the fruit, we are overwhelmed with stories of deception and trickery. One of the most significant and well known tales of deception in Genesis is the story of Jacob.

Another example includes the appearance of the Garden of Eden after the temptation of Eve by the serpent. According to the book of Genesis, when Adam and Eve committed original sin, they lived lives with pain and sorrow. “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field” Genesis (3:17-18). In comparison, the Monkey Garden changed in nature of the monkey moved to Kentucky.

On the first day, God created the heaven and the Earth, the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters on earth, and God said, “let there be light”. God saw this light and said it was good and divided the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the dark night. On the second day, God said, “let there be firmament in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters from the waters”, God called the firmament heaven. On the third day God said “let the water be gathered under the heaven and let there be dry land”, God called the water, sea, and the ground earth and said it was good, and god let the earth bring forth grass and herbs yielding seeds and the fruit tree yielding fruit whose seed is into the earth and saw it and said that it was good.

On this day God said “Let there be light” and there was light. God called this light “day and the darkness “night”. On the second day God the Father wanted a dome to cover the area he had created as Earth.

In Genesis, the test that Adam and Eve faced was the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. God told them not to eat the fruit in Genesis 2:17: “but as for the tree of knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat of it”. They didn’t obey God and they ate the fruit anyway, so God punished them for failing the test. In our society today we still have tests/, laws, and boundaries to keep people in check. If we didn’t have these tests, we wouldn’t know our limits.

Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden which was a place of youth and innocence, much like nature and the flower in the poem. Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat from the tree of knowledge. Eve ate the fruit from the tree, committing the first sin. Then Eve tempted Adam into eating the fruit also. In the poem, the Garden of Eden “sank to grief”.

It was that simple” (Cisneros 96). In comparison, the story of The Garden of Eden in Genesis consists

Adam and Eve are ‘born’ in the Garden of Eden, an ethereal place where they want for nothing, or at least should want for nothing. This of

The story of Adam and Eve serves as a tale on how mankind and womankind were created and placed on Earth. The story takes place in the Garden of Eden, and because the woman was deceived by the Serpent, both the women and the man were cast down to earth. The Serpent deceived the women by allowing her to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree, as she also influenced the man, God punished both. “Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” (Genesis 3:16 NIV) and that He allowed “Adam (to) named his wife Eve” (Genesis 3:20 NIV).

Likewise, the details of “the beginning” where God created night and day, the sky and the earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars, the

The story of Adam and Eve in the garden being outsmarted by the sneaky snake is such a common oral tradition, that modern folks who see themselves as enlightened may consider it an allegory, rather than an accurate recording of fact. Indeed, for the purposes of this study, the point is that the Creator planned a rewarding and creative style of life for His children. As in the story of the two trees in the garden (Genesis 3-4) the original plan was that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil would not be available to individuals. Instead of using free will for experimenting with God's instructions for successful life, the original plan presumed

God created a garden in Eden to the East. In the garden he created a man named Adam as well as trees, and rivers to water the garden. God gave Adam a commandment that he can eat from any of the tree in the garden except from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. God told him that if he eats from the Tree of Knowledge tree he will die. God created animals in order to help Adam.
