Man and Woman

This Is The Story Of

The Sky
And The
Ground

When They
Were Created

When The GOD
Who Watches
Made The
Ground and
The Sky

And Every Plant,
Before It Was
In The Ground

And Every Flower,
Before It Bloomed

Because GOD
Had Not Sent Rain
To Water The Earth

And There Was Nobody
To Work The Ground

But Moisture Came
Up From The Earth

And Made
The Ground
All Wet

Then GOD Shaped
A Man From The Dust
Of The Ground

And Blew The Breath
Of Life Into His Nose
And The Man Became
A Living Animal

And GOD Had Planted
A Garden in the East

In Eden

And There He Put
The Man He
Had Shaped

And GOD Made All
Kinds of Trees Grow
Out Of The Ground

Trees That
Looked Good
And Gave
Good Food

And The
Tree Of Life
In The
Middle

And The
Tree Of
Knowledge

Of Good
And Evil

A River To
Water The Garden
Flowed Out From
Eden and Was
Parted Into
Four Headwaters

The Long Red Wends
Through Havilah
Where There Is Gold,
Resin, and Onyx

The Nile Circles
Through Kush

The Tigris Moves Along
The East of Assyria

And The Fourth River
Is The Euphrates

And The LORD GOD
Took The Man And
Put Him Into The
Garden To Grow It
And Watch Over It

And The LORD GOD
Told The Man
What To Do

YOU ARE FREE TO
EAT FROM ANY TREE
IN THE GARDEN

BUT YOU OWE IT
NOT TO EAT FROM THE
TREE OF KNOWLEDGE
OF GOOD AND EVIL

BECAUSE THE DAY
YOU EAT FROM IT
YOU WILL SURELY DIE

The LORD GOD Said

IT IS NOT GOOD
FOR THE MAN
TO BE ALONE

I WILL MAKE FOR HIM
A HELPFUL FRIEND

And Out Of The Ground
The LORD GOD Shaped
Every Wild Animal
And Bird In The Sky

And Brought Them To
The Man to See What
He Would Name Them

And However The Man
Called Every Animal
That Was Its Name

And The Man Named
All The Farm Animals,
The Birds in the Sky,
And The Wild Animals.

But No Helpful Friend
Was Found For The Man

So The LORD GOD
Sent A Deep Sleep
To Fall Over The Man

And While He
Was Asleep
GOD Took
One Of The Bones
From The Man's Side
And Closed It Up
With Flesh

And The Rib Which
God Had Taken
From The Man
He Made Into
A Woman

And Presented Her
To The Man

And The Man Said
Wow. This Is Bone
Of My Bones And
Flesh of my Flesh!

She Should Be
Called Woman
Because She Was
Taken Out Of Man

This Is Why A Man
Owes To Leave His
Father and Mother

And Owes To
Join His Wife
And Become
One Flesh

And They Were
Both Naked
The Man
And His Wife

And They Did Not
Cover Themselves

Now The Serpent
Was More Subtle
Than Any of The
Wild Animals The
LORD GOD
Had Made

And He Asked
The Woman

So Did God
Really Say
You Should
Not Eat From
The Trees in
The Garden?

The Woman Said
To The Serpent

We May Eat
The Fruit From
The Trees in
The Garden

But Of The Fruit
From The Tree
In The Middle
of The Garden
God Said

YOU OWE IT NOT
TO EAT OF IT

AND YOU OWE IT
NOT TO TOUCH IT
OR YOU WILL DIE

And The Serpent
Said To The Woman

You Will Not Die
But God Knows That
When You Eat From It
Your Eyes Will Be
Opened And You Will
Be Like Gods and
Know Good and Evil

And When The Woman
Saw That The Tree
Was Good for Food

And Pleasant
To The Eyes

And A Tree
To Be Desired
To Make One Wise

She Took The Fruit
And She Ate Of It

And She Gave Some
To Her Husband
Who Was With Her

And He Ate Too

And Their Eyes
Were Opened

And They Knew
They Were Naked

So They Sewed
Fig Leaves Together
And Made Clothes
For Themselves

And They Heard The
Voice of the LORD GOD
Walking in the Garden
In the Cool of the Day

And The Man
And His Wife
Hid Themselves
From The LORD GOD
Who Was Close By
In The Trees
Of The Garden

And The LORD GOD
Called To The Man
WHERE ARE YOU?

And He Said
I Heard Your Voice
In The Garden and
I Was Afraid Because
I Was Not Covered
So I Hid Myself

And GOD Said
WHO TOLD YOU THAT
YOU WERE NOT COVERED?

HAVE YOU EATEN OF
THE TREE WHEREOF
I SAID YOU OWE IT
NOT TO EAT?

And The Man Said
The Woman You Gave
To Be With Me...
She Gave Me From
The Tree and I Ate

And The LORD GOD
Said To The Woman
WHAT DID YOU DO?

And The
Woman Said
The Serpent
Tricked Me
And I Ate

And The LORD GOD
Said To The Serpent

BECAUSE YOU
DID THIS

YOU WILL
BE HATED
ABOVE ANY
OTHER ANIMAL

ON YOUR BELLY
YOU WILL MOVE

AND DUST YOU
WILL EAT ALL
THE DAYS OF
YOUR LIFE

AND I WILL PUT
FEAR AND HATE
BETWEEN YOU
AND THE WOMAN

AND BETWEEN
YOUR SON
AND HER SON

AND HE WILL
STEP ON YOUR HEAD
AND YOU WILL
STRIKE AT HIS HEEL

And To The
Woman He Said

I WILL WEAVE YOU
A BRAID OF GREAT
WORRY AND SICKNESS
WHEN YOUR SEED
TAKES ROOT IN YOU

AND YOU WILL BE IN
TROUBLE AND PAIN
WHEN YOU
BRING FORTH
CHILDREN

AND YOU WILL
NEED YOUR HUSBAND
AND HE WILL
RULE OVER YOU

And To The
Man He Said

BECAUSE YOU
LISTENED TO
THE VOICE OF
YOUR WIFE

AND ATE OF
THE TREE
OF WHICH I TOLD
YOU NOT TO EAT

YOU WILL HATE
THE GROUND AND
IT IS YOUR FAULT

WITH WORRY
AND PAIN
WILL YOU
EAT FROM IT
ALL THE DAYS
OF YOUR LIFE

THORNS AND WEEDS
WILL IT BRING FORTH
TO YOU AND YOU WILL
EAT THE PLANTS
OF THE FIELD

WITH SWEAT
ON YOUR FACE
WILL YOU EAT
YOUR BREAD

UNTIL YOU
RETURN TO
THE GROUND

BECAUSE OUT
OF THE GROUND
YOU WERE MADE

FOR DUST YOU ARE
AND TO DUST
YOU WILL RETURN

And The Man
Called His Wife's
Name Life
Because She Was
The Mother Of
All The Living

And God Made
Clothes for
The Man and
His Wife out of
Animal Skins and
Covered Them

And The LORD
GOD Said LOOK,
THE MAN
HAS BECOME
LIKE ONE
OF US NOW

AND KNOWS
GOOD FROM EVIL

AND NOW HE MAY
REACH OUT AND TAKE
FROM THE
TREE OF LIFE

AND EAT AND
LIVE FOREVER

So The LORD GOD
Sent Him Out Of
The Garden of Eden
To Work The Ground
Whereof He Was Made

So He Pushed
The Man Out
And To The East
of the
Garden of Eden
He Placed
Winged Horses
Of Awesome Aspect
That Sprinkle Blood

And A Spinning
Sword of Fire
To Block The
Way To The
Tree of Life
