Vrs.8- And they heard the voice of the LORD GOD walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD GOD among the trees of the garden.

Vrs.9- And the LORD GOD called unto Adam, and said unto him, where are you?

Vrs.10- And he said, I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

Vrs.11- And the LORD GOD said, who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you that you should not eat?

Vrs.12 And the man said, the woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

Vrs.13 And the LORD GOD said unto the woman, what is this that you have done? And the woman said, the serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

Vrs.14 And the LORD GOD said unto the serpent, because you have done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field: upon your belly shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life.

Vrs.15- And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed, he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.

Vrs.16- unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception: in sorrow you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you.

Vrs.20- ‘And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

Vrs.21- Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD GOD make coats of skins, and clothed them.

Vrs.22- And the LORD GOD said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Vrs.23- Therefore the LORD GOD sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

Vrs.24- So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way of the tree of life.”

The story of man narrated in Genesis chapter 2 and three from his creation to his fall gives a great cause for serious thought by everyone who chances to be part of this world. The devil had played on Eve’s intelligence, taking undue advantage of her frail and weak motive.

1 Peter 3;7 “Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayer be not hindered.”

Let us reason together. Why did the serpent refuse to approach Adam? The

cunning and subtleness could not have overcome Adam if he had made a direct approach, because Adam had received the first commandment or law” directly from God at a time when the woman had not been made. You would realize from the narrative that Adam had passed on the law to the woman, a weaker vessel by nature – (one out of seven ribs of man God had taken to form the woman) could be a determinant factor to her natural weakness.
