The Gift of the Garden - 4-15-23
What did God use to make man?
Why do you think Moses gave such details about the garden of Eden
when he wrote Genesis?
4 These are the generations
of the heavens and the earth when they were created,
in the day that the Lord God
made the earth and the heavens.
5 When
no bush of the field[a] was yet in the land[b] and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for
the Lord God had not
caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the
ground, 6 and a mist[c] was going up from the land and was watering the whole face
of the ground— 7 then the Lord God formed the man
of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 8 And
the Lord God planted
a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had
formed. 9 And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every
tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was
in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil.
10 A
river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became
four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the
Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where
there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is
good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name
of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole
land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is
the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the
Euphrates.
