Meet Adam.
The first man in Genesis.
Who was Adam?
In Genesis, Adam is the first man. God forms him from the ground and gives him life. He is placed in a garden to tend it. The story later tells of broken trust and leaving the garden.
Adam was given work caring for the garden before the story of disobedience. Looking after living things is part of his place in the world.
