"The Garden of Eden, in the Hebrew Bible book of Genesis was the “Lord’s Paradise” where the first man and woman created, Adam and Eve lived. God then planted the Garden of Eden with the “tree of life” and the forbidden “tree of the knowledge of good and evil” and commanded Adam and Eve to not eat the fruit of the forbidden tree.
However, an evil serpent in the garden deceived Eve, who ate of the prohibited fruit and gave some to Adam. With newly opened eyes, they recognized their nakedness and donned fig leaves as garments. Immediately God saw their transgression and proclaimed their punishments—for the woman, pain in childbirth and for the man, relegation to an accursed ground with which he must toil and sweat for his subsistence. God then cast them out of the paradise garden and the humans progressed from a state of innocence and bliss to the present human condition of knowledge of sin, misery, and death."
