Genesis 2:16-17

¹⁶And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;g

¹⁷but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”h

Genesis 2 shifts focus from the cosmic creation account to a more intimate, anthropocentric narrative, detailing the formation of humanity and the establishment of the Garden of Eden. It elaborates on the creation of Adam from the dust of the ground, the breath of life, and the divine command regarding the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The chapter culminates in the creation of Eve from Adam's rib, establishing the foundation for marriage and human companionship, and portraying an initial state of innocence and perfect relationship between God and humanity.
