The Torah (the first section of the Jewish 'Bible') book of Bereshit (Genesis) says that God created Adam and his wife Eve. It says that the couple first dwelt and worked in the Garden of Eden. God expelled the couple for having broken the divine law against eating of the forbidden fruit. Adam was punished by being sentenced to having to work for food (as men still do), while Eve was punished by being sentenced to painful childbirth (as women still do). The couple ultimately resided in an unspecified place outside of Eden. They raised a family of daughters and sons. Adam lived a total of 930 years. He lived long enough to see the birth of six generations of children and descendants. He died before the birth of Noah and the great flood.
