In Genesis 2, God rested on the seventh day. Then, in Genesis 2, God creates the first man and the first woman. God created "a garden eastward in Eden" (Genesis 2:8, p. 58), where he put the first man he had formed (Adam). Then God created "every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil" (2:9, p. 58). God made a river to water the garden, and the river had four heads: Pison; Gihon; Hiddekel; and Euphrates. Then God said "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him" (2:18. p. 58). God then sent Adam into a deep sleep, and as he slept, formed a woman (Eve) from Adam's rib to be his companion in the Garden of Eden. In the Garden of Eden, the first man and woman have everything they need, and each other: "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed" (Genesis 2:25, p. 58).

Chapter 1 of Genesis is different from Chapter 2 of Genesis, in that in Chapter 1, the very beginning, most basic elements of the earth are created from waters and darkness.

In Chapter 2, God creates the first man, and then, to keep the man company, creates the first woman to live with the man on the earth, and everything around them that they need in the Garden of Eden.

The tree of knowledge is also created in Chapter 2, and God instructs the man" "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (Genesis 2:16-17. p. 58). But it is not until Chapter 3 of Genesis that the woman and then the man are tempted by the tree of Knowledge.
