Genesis 2:15

All writings that reference this passage

  • First Sin

    Genesis 3:6 contains a four-word grenade: 'who was with her.' Adam was present for the entire temptation — and chose silence. A close reading of the Fall and what it reveals about the man who watched.

  • Get to Work

    The Hebrew word under the creation mandate — avodah — means labor, service, and worship simultaneously. Not three concepts that share a word. One concept seen from three angles. Adam wasn't placed in the garden to work and then worship. The tending was the worship. That's what Genesis 3 broke, and what the redemption project is trying to restore.
