The story of Adam and Eve is a foundational narrative in the Bible, specifically in the book of Genesis. According to the account, Adam was the first man created by God, and Eve was created from one of his ribs to be his companion. They lived in the Garden of Eden, a paradise filled with various trees and abundant resources. In the garden, they were instructed not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. However, tempted by a serpent, they disobeyed this command. As a result, they gained knowledge but faced consequences, including being expelled from the garden, marking the beginning of human struggles.
