Genesis 2–3

The Garden of Eden Bible Crossword

15×15 grid · Easy · Ends on Genesis 2:18

A garden eastward in Eden, a river that parts into four heads, two trees in the midst of it, and one instruction. The Garden of Eden covers Genesis 2 and 3 together — the forming of the man from the dust, the deep sleep and the rib, the naming of every beast, the subtil serpent, and the cherubims set at the east of the garden with a flaming sword.

The clues stay close to the KJV's own words, which are stranger and better than the retellings: help meet, subtil, coats of skins. The closing verse is the one spoken before Eve appears at all.
