Descrizione:

God commands land creatures to come fourth from the ground on the earth, and gives them all edible vegetation for food, intending that all living things are meant to be herbivorous in His original design, including humans (Gen 1:29, 30), and that carnivory was not part of God's perfect creation, because it involves death and suffering.

God plants a garden in the area called Eden, which later is described in many parallels to later temple designs, being on a high elevation from which a river flows out towards the east, also where the entrance faces, and flows out and splits up into four riverheads from there. The garden is a place designed by God specifically for intimate relationship between Himself and His people, and humans were to tend to it to look after it and enjoy its fruit. Persumably, the aforementioned river system irrigates the entire continent of Pangea (Gen 2:8-10), as well as a mist that rises from the ground (Gen 2:6).

God creates Adam, the first man, out of the clay of the ground, then breathed into Adams nostrils, and Adam became a living being, made in God's own image (Gen 2:7, Gen 1:26).

God gives Adam the command to be ruler under God over all the earth, to populate it with people and to look after it and be responsible for it all, and lets him eat from any plant that's good for food, but warns not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, or else death would be guaranteed to follow (Gen 2:16, 17).

He introduces Adam to all His other creatures to have authority over them and name them (Gen 2:19). God puts Adam into a deep sleep, takes a rib from him, then fashions it into a woman, who He gives to Adam as his wife (Gen 2:21-22), thus instituting the sanctity of marriage. The woman is also made in the image of God, no less so than the man (Gen 1:27).

God takes a look at everything He has created, and declares it to be very good, perfect in fact. There were no such things as death, disease, suffering, brokenness or demons at this point, because God did not create such things. Then evening and morning after a busy 24-hours.
