BiblicalPeople

Ther are millions of Jewish, biblical people.

Adam and Eve

Adam and Eve were the first people and they were created by G-d to be his companions. They lived in the garden of Eden, which is perfect. The only thing that they couldn't do Eden was eat the fruit from the tree of life. Unfortunately, the serpent lured Eve to eat on of the apples. Eve enjoyed it so much that she tempted Adam to eat some, too. Suddenly, they knew a vast amount of knowledge and realized, for the first time, that they were naked. At once, they were ashamed. When G-d came to talk to them, Adam and Eve ran into the bushes to hid their nudity. G-d asked where they were, and Adam told G-d that they were in the bushes so that G-d shall not see them naked. G-d immediately knew that they had taken fruit from the tree of life. He was so mad that he banished them from Eden for their entire lives. He made them work to get food and to prosper. No longer did Adam and Eve live a simple life in Eden.

Cain and Abel

Cain was Adam and Eve's first son. He was a tiller of the ground. Abel was Adam and Eve's second son. He was a keeper of sheep. Cain would offer his plants to G-d while Abel would offer his sheep. G-d preferred Abel's gifts and got mad at Cain for his poor gifts. Abel got very angry that his gifts were not appreiciated. His anger got so strong that he killed Abel. This was the first murder. G-d punished Cain. Cain had to wander the earth the rest of his days, and no crops would grow from his hand. Cain was worried that everyone would try to kill him. But, G-d said that he put a mark on Cain so that no one would kill him, and whoever tried would be punished seven times worse. So, Abel was dead and Cain was a wanderer.

Noah

There came a time when the world was evil, it was long after the deaths of Adam and Eve. Only one man and his family had done right in the sight of G-d, and his name was Noah. G-d was very mad and decided to create a great flood. He told Noah about the flood and to make and ark and gather two of every animal speicies to bring on the ark along with his family. Noah did as G-d told him. He was in the ark for forty days and forty nights. Noah, his family, and all animals survived.
