Judaism in Jewish tradition the story of Adam and Eve is told in the Book of Genesis in the Tanakh Old Testament Genesis says that God made Adam the first human from the dust of the ground and gave him life then God put Adam in the Garden of Eden to tend to it and keep it in good condition God realized that it wasn't ideal for Adam to be by himself so he created Eve to be his suitable helper God put Adam to sleep and took a rib from him to make Eve from this rib God formed a woman and brought her to Adam Adam welcomed Eve as bone of my bones and Flesh of My Flesh Adam and Eve lived in close relationship with God in the Garden of Eden however the serpent tempted them to eat the fruit from the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil which God had forbidden after eating the forbidden fruit they realized they were naked because their eyes were opened they felt embarrassed and made Lo cloths from fig leaves to cover themselves God called out to Adam and Eve who hid out of fear God cursed the serpent for deceiving them saying that the Serpent's Offspring and the woman's offspring would be enemies God also made child painful for Eve and made her desire her husband while Adam was punished with having to work hard for his entire life to get food from the cursed ground so God kicked Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden he didn't want them to eat from the Tree of Life and live forever in a sinful State the story of Adam and Eve in Jewish tradition shows how sin started and what it means for Humanity it also shows that God is fair but also kind even though Adam and Eve sinned and were punished God still took care of them and gave them hope for Redemption through the the woman's Offspring who would defeat the serpent Christianity the story of Adam and Eve is found in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament according to the biblical account God created Adam the first man from the dust of the ground and breathed life into him God then placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to care for it since Adam was alone God created Eve the first woman from one of Adam's Ribs Adam recognized Eve as his equal and the two lived in harmony with God in the garden however the serpent deceived Eve tempting her to eat the fruit from the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil which God had forbidden Eve ate the fruit and gave some to Adam who also ate as a result they realized they were naked they tried to cover themselves with fig leaves and hide from God God confronted Adam and Eve and they admitted they had disobeyed because of their sin God made a series of judgments against the serpent Eve and Adam the serpent was cursed to crawl on its belly and enmity was declared between its Offspring and the woman's Offspring Eve was sentenced to painful childbirth and a desire for her husband while Adam was sentenced to hard labor and toil for the rest of his life to eat eventually he would die God made garments of skin to clothe Adam and Eve and banish them from the Garden of Eden to prevent them from eating from the Tree of Life and living forever in a fallen state in Christian theology the story of Adam and Eve's fall is Central to the doctrine of original sin this teaches that all humans inherit a sinful nature due to the first sin committed by Adam the New Testament presents Jesus Christ as the last Adam whose obedience and sacrifice provide Redemption and restore the possibility of eternal life for those who believe in him Islam in Islam Adam is seen as the first prophet and the father of humanity the story of Adam and Eve or Hawa in Arabic is mentioned in the Quran in Islamic teachings Allah created Adam from clay and gave him life Allah then told the angels to prostrate before Adam and they all did except for or IAS or Satan who refused out of Pride and was kicked out of paradise Allah created Eve as a companion for Adam and put them both in Paradise Jonna where they could enjoy its blessings however Allah also warned them not to approach a specific tree elas tricked Adam and Eve into eating from The Forbidden tree as a result they disobeyed Allah and were sent down to earth as a test and to fulfill their role as vieran or Khalifa once they were on Earth Adam and Eve repented for their mistake and Allah forgave them they became the first humans to populate the Earth and their descendants spread throughout the world in Islam Adam is seen as a prophet who received guidance from Allah and taught his children to worship the one true God the story of Adam and Eve is a reminder of the importance of obeying Allah the consequence of giving into temptation and Allah's mercy and forgiveness for those who repent unlike the concept of original sin Islam teaches that every individual is born sinless and is responsible for their own actions the story of Adam and Eve is seen as a lesson for Humanity rather than a basis for the doctrine of inherited sin in a nutshell the Islamic story of Adam and Eve is all about the importance of monotheism submission to Allah and the human struggle between good and evil it also shows that Allah is merciful and guides those who seek it Zoroastrianism in Zoroastrianism the story of the first human couple is that of mashia and mashiana according to zoroastrian text particularly the buahan aura Mazda the supreme god of wisdom and goodness created gomard the Primeval man as the first mortal creature from gard's seed which was purified by the Sun the first human couple mashia and masana Grew From a plant in the form of a rhubarb they were initially joined together but they were later separated and given distinct forms as man and woman mashia and mashiana lived in a state of innocence and Bliss enjoying the bounties provided by ahura Mazda however they were tempted by angra Manu the evil spirit Who tricked them into doubting Aura Mazda and following the path of FAL Hood this made them the first humans to sin and experience suffering and death despite their mistake mashia and mashiana realized they were wrong and asked Aura Mazda to forgive them they became the ancestors of the human race and their Story shows us that there's always been a battle between good and evil that it's important to choose the path of righteousness and that there are consequences to giving into temptation in Zoroastrianism humans are seen as moral agents with free will capable of choosing between good and evil the goal of human life is to align with aura Mazda and maintain the cosmic order Asha through good thoughts good words and Good Deeds zoroastrians believe that good will ultimately triumph over evil and that the world will be restored to a state of perfection at the End of Time Hinduism Hinduism doesn't have a story like the one about Adam and Eve in abrahamic religions however several myths and narratives in Hindu sacred texts touch upon similar themes of creation and the origin of humanity the rigveda is one of the old oldest Hindu Scriptures it contains the perusa sukta hymn which describes the cosmic sacrifice of perusha the primordial being from this sacrifice various aspects of the universe including humans were created the brahans came from pera's mouth the kosat Trias from his arms the vishas from his thighs and the sudras from his feet this story is a key part of the origin story of the cast system and the creation of the universe as a whole later mythological texts like the panhas also tell stories about Manu who is said to be the progenitor of mankind the bhagavat Pana says that Manu son of Brahma survived a great flood with the help of vishnu's Avatar Mata Manu then became the ancestor of humanity and is credited with receiving and sharing the Eternal laws that govern human conduct known as the manuti the vava tradition shows vishnu's avatars like Rama and Krishna with Partners who symbolize Divine love and devotion Hindu myths explore themes of creation human Origins and the Divine human relationship they differ from the Adam and Eve narrative in their emphasis on the cycle of rebirth and the attainment of spiritual Liberation the bahi faith in the bahai faith Adam is seen as the first of God's manifestations the story of Adam and Eve is viewed symbolically not literally in some answered questions Abdul Baha says that a literal interpretation is wrong he says that the story contains Divine Mysteries and Universal meanings Adam symbolizes the spirit of Adam while Eve represents his s the tree of knowledge represents the material world and the serpent symbolizes attachment to the material world the fall of Adam shows how Humanity became aware of Good and Evil marking the shift from spiritual Purity to an understanding of worldly Duality on another level Adam and Eve represent God's Will and decree the first two stages of the seven stages of the Divine creative action this perspective makes the point that the story of Adam and Eve is not just a historical account or myth It's actually an allegory that teaches us some deep spiritual and moral lessons the bahi faith believes that understanding the deeper meanings behind sacred texts and religious narratives is really important Shinto Adam and Eve don't appear in Shinto lore this traditional Japanese belief system has its own set of creation myths detailing how Japan its gods and its people came to be the kojiki and nion Shoki two ancient Japanese texts say that the world began with the primordial Kami Izanagi and isanami they stood on a bridge in the sky and used a jeweled spear to stir the waters creating the first island onog Goro Izanagi and isanami then went down to this island and made more Islands Kami and natural phenomena they also gave birth to lots of Kami including amerasu the sun goddess and ancestor of the Japanese Imperial line these texts don't mention a specific first human couple but they do establish the divine origins of the Japanese islands and the Japanese people some Shinto traditions also talk about the concept of Musubi which is the creative and harmonizing power that connects the Kami and all living things Shintoism is all about keeping the harmony between humans nature and the Kami ritual practices offerings and the veneration of sacred spaces and objects are all part of this whereas the abrahamic story of Adam and Eve is about humans Shinto cran myths focus more on the divine origins of the Japanese people and their connection to the natural world and the Kami Greek mythology unlike the biblical tale Greek myths present multiple narratives about the creation of humankind one of the most well-known stories is the myth of Prometheus Prometheus a Titan is said to have created humans from clay he then gave them fire which he stole from The Olympian gods enabling humans to develop civilization prometheus's sister Athena gave humans the gift of wisdom and skills another myth is about Pandora the first woman made by hephestus who was ordered by Zeus to do it Pandora was given a box which is of often mistakenly called Pandora's Box that contained all kinds of evils and misery when Pandora opened the box all the bad stuff came out leaving only hope at the bottom some versions of these myths say that Prometheus or another God created the first couple dualon and PIRA they survived a great flood sent by Zeus to destroy Humanity they acted on the advice of an Oracle and threw their mother's bones behind them which they interpreted as Stones the stones thrown by dualan became men and those thrown by PIRA became women women which restarted the human race while these characters play an important role in the creation or Revival of humanity in Greek mythology there's no single couple that directly corresponds to Adam and Eve in the biblical narrative Norse mythology the Eda core text of Norse mythology present a version of human creation that differs from the biblical Narrative of Adam and Eve the valusa a poem in the poetic ETA says that the first humans were created by three Gods the three Gods responsible for creating Humanity were Odin V and vay they found two tree trunks an ash and an Elm on the seashore the gods gave them spirit and understanding by breathing life into them Odin gave them life villy gave them movement and intelligence and V gave them form speech hearing and sight all human beings on Earth today can trace their lineage back to ask and embla in another story Odin and his brothers V and vag killed the giant imir the first being they used emir's body to create the world and his blood to make the oceans maggots start started to appear in iir's flesh and turn into dwarves Norse mythology doesn't focus on just one couple as the ancestors of humanity instead it's about how the gods collectively created humans the focus is on how the gods shaped the world and brought life to different beings including humans dwarves and Giants Hawaiian mythology Hawaiian mythology's oral Legends and chants offer unique explanations for human existence unlike the Adam and Eve narrative the kumulipo a Hawaiian creation chant says that the world came into being from the primordial darkness and that the first beings were born from the mating of natural elements the gods Cain cou and Lono were the main deities responsible for creating the world and all living things including humans in one story Cain and Lono made the first man kumuhonua from the red Earth of Kawai they gave him life and named him Honua Earth the gods then created the first woman kolak Honua from kumuhonua Shadow and named her loh Honua which means under the Earth kumuhonua and kolak kuhonu were the ancestors of the Hawaiian people another Legend has it that the demigod Maui tried to get the secret of fire from the fire goddess mahua With a Little Help from his mother Hina Maui managed to bring fire to humanity which meant they could cook food and stay warm Hawaiian mythology is all about how humans nature and the gods are all connected the creation stories are all about how the islands and the people got their start and how it's important to keep things in balance and harmony with each other
