Where was Adam and Eve sent when they left the garden of eden?

Answer 1

Nowhere in the Bible is it indicated where Adam and Eve went after being banished from the Garden of Eden. The book of Genesis only says that Adam and Eve lived part of their lives in the Garden. It also says that the couple had to leave the garden and spend the rest of their lives elsewhere. But it gives absolutely no information as to where they went or even the direction that they took upon leaving.

Answer 2

Another answer:

Once Adam and Eve had eaten the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they were they were now like gods (Genesis 3:22: "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us..."), but had also become aware of their mortality.

The only difference between them and God (or the gods) was that they must die. By eating of the Tree of Life, they would then also be immortal. In Genesis 3:24, God drove out the man and placed at the entrance to the Garden of Eden, cherubim and a flaming sword to keep [block] the way of the Tree of Life. In the Genesis story, Adam and Eve were sent from the Garden and could not be allowed back for fear they would eat of the second tree.

Answer 3

Still on earth, Adam and Eve were placed outside the Garden, where the land was not yet cultivated.

At Genesis 2:7-8 we read that God made Adam out of dust from the ground, planted a garden in Eden and then transferred Adam into the garden(Genesis 2:15).

After Adam's sin, "...God put him out of the garden of Eden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken. And so he drove the man out and posted at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning itself continually to guard the way to the tree of life...."(Genesis 3:20-24)

Adam and Eve lived the remainder of their lives (Genesis 5:4-5) having children and working hard to survive on a cursed earth(Genesis 3:17-19) until they died and 'returned to the dust'.

Answer 4

The traditional Christian view is that God punished Adam and Eve for eating the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. He told Eve she must bear children in pain and told Adam that one day he will die, then banished them from the Garden of Eden. This is emphasised in the teachings of Augustine who said that this was an original sin that stains us all.

Some scholars say that Genesis depicts Adam and Eve, in their innocent state, as being unaware that they must die one day, so eating the fruit of the Tree of Life was of no interest to them. They ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and learnt to understand good and evil, including that they would one day die. They had already eaten of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and were now like gods (Genesis 3:22: "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us..."), except that they were still mortal. God told them what they now already knew: that Eve she must bear children in pain and that one day they will die. By eating of the Tree of Life, they would then also be immortal, so the only course left open to God was to banish Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and place cherubim and a flaming sword across the path back to the Tree of Life. This was not a punishment, but a necessary result of their having become god-like.

Answer 5

There is a Hebrew pun here in Gen. 3:22-23 -- The verb is the Piel preterite of שָׁלַח (shalakh), forming a wordplay with the use of the same verb (in the Qal stem) in Gen. 3:22: To prevent the man’s “sending out” his hand, the Lord “sends him out.”

YLT

And Jehovah God saith, `Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,' --(Gen. 3:22)

NOG

So Yahweh Elohim sent the man out of the Garden of Eden to farm the ground from which the man had been formed. -- (Gen. 3:23)

I don't think they have existed, but apart from that: I think that The Bible said they were left on earth.
