Creation and Companionship in Eden

“The heavens and the earth were complete… and God blessed the seventh day with rest.”

“Then the story of humanity began.” “God formed a man from the dust… and breathed life

into him.” “He planted a garden—Eden— filled with beautiful trees and the Tree of

Life at its center.” “A river flowed from Eden, dividing into four great streams.”

“God placed the man there and gave him one command.” “Seeing he was alone,

God caused him to sleep… and formed a companion.” “Adam said: ‘Bone of my bones…

flesh of my flesh.’”
