Rahab had faith in God and informed the Israelites of Jericho's fear saying "I know that the Lord has given you this land and that a great fear of you has fallen on us so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you." Scouts from the Israelites crept into the walled city of Jericho and hid at the house of Rahab, noted as a prostitute. God promised to never destroy the earth with a flood again and He placed a rainbow in the sky as a sign of his promise. Seven days later he sent out another dove and it returned with an olive leaf, signaling that it was now safe to go onto land.
After coming to rest on a mountain, Noah sent out a dove to find dry land but it returned. When it started raining, Noah brought his wife and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their wives onto the ark. This is why many pictures depicting Noah's ark show animals coming two by two. God told Noah to prepare an ark big enough to hold one male and one female from every kind of animal and creature. The entire population of mankind had become evil and wicked and God decided to bring a flood to the earth to destroy everyone but Noah and his family. Noah was a man who found great favor in God's eyes. The story of Noah's ark is one filled with faith, perseverance, and promise. Adam and Eve, now knowing that they had sinned, immediately felt ashamed and tried to hide from God. She then gave some to Adam for him to eat. Eve believed the lie and took a bite of the fruit. Eve told the serpent that God said they should not eat it and they would die if they did, but Satan tempted Eve to eat saying that she would become like God if she did. One day Satan came disguised as a snake and spoke to Eve, convincing her to eat the fruit from the tree of good and evil. God warned them that if they ate from the tree they would die. He told Adam and Eve that they could eat from any fruit from the trees except for the tree of good and evil. God put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to care for and nurture the land. God created the first man Adam and then created the first woman, Eve.
