In the second account of creation in the Book of Genesis (Genesis 2:4-25), God creates Adam and Eve in a specific sequence and manner:
* Adam: God forms Adam from the dust of the ground (Hebrew: "adamah") and breathes the breath of life into his nostrils, making him a living being.
* Garden of Eden: God plants a garden in Eden and puts Adam in it to work and take care of it. God provides Adam with the instructions and rules for the garden, including the prohibition against eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
* Animals: God brings the animals to Adam to be named, but among them, no suitable helper is found for Adam.
* Eve: God puts Adam into a deep sleep and takes one of his ribs. From the rib, God fashions Eve. After she is presented to Adam, he recognizes her as "bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh" and calls her "woman" (Hebrew: "ishshah") because she was taken out of man (Hebrew: "ish").
This account differs from the first account in Genesis 1:1-2:3, where humanity (both male and female) is created simultaneously as the culmination of God's creation. In the second account, Adam is created first, followed by the animals, and then Eve is created from Adam's rib.
