About this story

God creates Adam from the earth and places him in the Garden of Eden, where he is joined by Eve. They may enjoy everything in the garden except the fruit of one forbidden tree. When a cunning serpent questions God’s command, Eve and Adam make a choice that changes their lives forever. Their disobedience brings shame, judgment and exile from Eden. Adam and Eve is the foundational biblical story of humanity’s beginning, exploring innocence, temptation, freedom and consequence. It also introduces some of the Bible’s most enduring images, including the forbidden fruit, the serpent and the lost paradise.

Scene 1 of Adam and Eve, illustratedAdam et Ève · Scene 1

Voici l'histoire du ciel et de la terre. Au début, Yahweh Dieu fait la terre et le ciel. Il n'y a pas encore d'arbuste dans les champs. Il n'y a pas encore d'herbe non plus. Yahweh Dieu ne fait pas encore pleuvoir sur la terre. Et il n'y a pas d'homme pour travailler le sol. Mais une brume monte de la terre. Elle arrose tout le sol. Alors Yahweh Dieu forme l'homme avec la poussière du sol. Il souffle dans son nez un souffle de vie. Et l'homme devient un être vivant. Puis Yahweh Dieu plante un jardin à l'est, en Éden. Il met dans ce jardin l'homme qu'il a formé. Yahweh Dieu fait pousser du sol tous les arbres. Ils sont beaux à voir et bons à manger. Au milieu du jardin, il y a aussi l'arbre de vie et l'arbre de la connaissance du bien et du mal.
