God Made the First Man and Woman

God Made the First Man and Woman

Jehovah made one garden in the place they call Eden. The garden wor having plenty flowers, trees, and animal dem. Then God made the first man Adam from the dust and blow in his nose. You know what happen? The man started living! Jehovah tell Adam to take care of the whole garden, and God tell him to give all the animal dem name.

Jehovah gave Adam one important law. He tell Adam say: ‘You can eat from all the tree dem that in the garden, except from this one special tree. If you eat from it, you will die.’

Later on, Jehovah say: ‘I will make somebody to help Adam.’ He made Adam to go in deep sleep. Then God use one of Adam rib bone to made woman for him. And Adam name her Eve. Adam and Eve wor the first family God made. How Adam wor feeling about his wife? Adam wor too happy, and he say: ‘Look at what Jehovah made from my rib bone! Finally! This one looking just like me.’

Jehovah tell Adam and Eve to born plenty children and fill the whole earth. He wanted them to enjoy working together to make the whole earth paradise, or beautiful garden, just like the garden of Eden. But that not what happen. Why? We will learn more about it in the next lesson.
