Genesis (first book of Moses) KJV from project Gutenberg

1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth

This is followed afterwards, after the Seventh Day by this:

2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

See how chapter 1 is God, and chapter 2 is LORD God

Eden is eastward of where?

The centre of the city, perhaps

And thus this breathing of life... A similar .expression appears in other places and relates to inspiration and teaching.

There was people before this one.

Adam was invited to the garden, and had to undergo training to be allowed.

Jasher and Jubilees are both quite clear this was a gift of education. Adam and Eve were taught farming. 7 years they were training to garden and farm. The offense of eating from the Tree did not immediately lead to expulsion but their work was thereafter not so easy. I.E. no more free food, eat your produce or starve, thieves.

Anyhow, continuing.
