In this story, God creates Adam and makes him a partner Eve. He tells them to not eat the fruit off of the tree of knowledge because then they will be all knowing and he doesnt want then. However, when Eve is tricked by the serpent they are punished because they disobey God. So he banishes them from the garden of eden, and he also punishes them individually too. “Unto the woman he said, ‘I will greatly multiply they sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.’ And unto Adam he said, ‘Because thou has hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree…Cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: For dust thou are, and unto dust shalt thou return.’” (Page 68)
