Creation of Adam and Eve
Creation of Adam and Eve has no date in the Modern reckoning; the Traditional reckoning puts it in 4004 BC. It is told in Genesis 2:4–25. Adam, Eve, God are part of it.
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
- a LORD or GOD, with capital letters, represents the proper name of the God of Israel and the one true God, transliterated from the Hebrew as YHWH; here and throughout the Scriptures.
