It is about the creation, first sin, first murder in the world.
Two major events that significantly altered God's creation are the Fall of Man and the Flood. The Fall, resulting from Adam and Eve's disobedience, introduced sin and death into the world, fundamentally changing the relationship between humanity and God, as well as the nature of creation itself. The Flood, as described in the story of Noah, was a divine response to humanity's wickedness, leading to widespread destruction and a fresh start for creation. Both events underscore the themes of sin, judgment, and redemption in the biblical narrative.
The most obvious biblical parallel is between Absalom (Stephen Kumalo's son) and the biblical Absalom. Check out the story of the biblical Absalom in Wikipedia. Here are a few parallels: Both Absaloms... -rebelled against their fathers -died by hanging -greatly grieved their fathers -were greedy

The paradise of Eden in the Bible represents the ideal state of harmony between humanity and God, as well as the perfect relationship between humans and nature. It serves as a symbol of innocence, peace, and abundance before the introduction of sin and the fall of humanity. Eden is a foundational element in the biblical narrative of creation, highlighting the initial goodness of God's creation and the consequences of disobedience.
De-creation is when sin triumphs over evil. Genesis is like a 3 act play: Creation------God creates (and everything is good) De-creation--Sin destroyes Re-creation--God saves In de-creation, sin triumphs over evil and that is the cause of the shortening life spans.
