Original Eden Story.

- Abstract
Numerous scholars have proposed varied theories as to how the story of the Garden of Eden in Genesis 2-3 arrived at its present text. In this paper, I will offer a different sense of the original Eden story stemming from a new perspective that differs from existing theories. In this paper I present sufficient evidence to derive the original Eden story from the present text of Genesis 2-3. Most importantly, Genesis 3:22-24 diverges from other parts of Genesis 3 as the subject of the action in Genesis 3:22-24 changes abruptly. As a second reason, I will point out the problem of overlapping narratives, and how more fundamental narratives can be separated. This paper uses these grounds to reconstruct the original Eden story.
