📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of Genesis, God had created Adam and placed him in the Garden of Eden, giving him the responsibility to care for it and the clear command not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. After Adam and Eve disobeyed by eating the forbidden fruit, they hid from God out of shame and fear, marking the first instance of human sin and separation from their Creator. God then called out to Adam, asking "Where are you?" as an act of pursuing them despite their rebellion, setting the stage for the consequences of sin and the need for redemption.
