Genesis 3 – The Fall

Posted in Bible Study, Biblical Literacy, Genesis, Uncategorized, tagged , , on February 2, 2016|

We move into the story of man’s separation from God in Genesis 3. In chapter 2, Adam is with God in the garden, but by the end of chapter 3, he and Eve will be forced to leave the garden and will be prevented from coming back by armed guards.

5. What was the response of Eve and Adam to God after they sinned?

6. What technique does Adam use to explain his sin in Genesis 3:12? Eve in Genesis 3:13?
