The fall of mankind into sin began when Satan questioned one of God's commands, namely not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and convinced Eve into eating the fruit, followed by Adam.  The result of disobeying this command resulted in the driving away of Adam and Eve from the garden, to live a life of subsistence farming and painful childbearing, and eventually dying.  Genesis 3:15 is also cited as being the first reference to the coming [[Messiah]].

===The Flood===

The wickedness of mankind is so great the God repents of His creation and decides to destroy it all through a flood.  Only Noah is righteous before God, and He instruct Noah to build an ark to carry himself, his family, and pairs of every creature on earth and in the air.  God then destroys the earth, the ark riding the waves until the waters abate and it comes to rest at the mountains of Ararat.  God makes a promise never to destroy the earth by flood again, and shows Noah the sign of that covenant, a rainbow.

Noah is also the first planter of a vineyard, and during a drunken sleep one of his sons (Ham) sees him naked.  Noah awakes with the knowledge as to what he had done, and places a curse upon his son Canaan, declaring that Canaan and his descendants would be slaves to the his brothers Shem and Japheth.  All three sons would have their names and their descendants listed on the Table of Nations, which ends Noah's story.
