In chapters 2 God is looking over his creation and making little adjustments. He makes woman and sets the couple to their new life in the perfect garden. And in chapter 3 we see the entry of The Serpent and the downfall of man.
2:18 And the Lord God said, it is not good that man should be alone, I will make a help meet for him.
3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman , yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
3:13-14 And the Lord God said unto the woman, what is that thou hast done? And the woman said, the serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly thou shalt go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
3:16 And unto the woman He said, I will greatly multiply thy 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.
3:17 And unto Adam He said, because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow thou shalt eat of it all the days of thy life.
3:22 And the Lord God said, behold the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and life forever.
And the Lord sent them from the garden. This concludes Chapters 2 & 3. We now see that not listening to the words of God and his instructions caused our current state of seperation from Him.
