What does the Bible say about what happened in the Garden of Eden?

The Bible describes the events in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 2:15-17 and Genesis 3. God placed Adam in the garden, allowing him to eat from every tree except one. The act of disobedience by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil led to spiritual and physical death, emphasizing the severity of sin. The man's free will allowed him to choose, but the choice to disobey brought not only death to Adam and Eve but also to all humanity, as sin permeated their existence and that of their descendants.
