In creating people God wanted them to live in a community. For this reason they possessed ability to make relationships with each other. Although through their sins they diminished this ability and destroyed the harmony in the world they had lived.

However, detailed analysis of this biblical text shows what is the true message resulted from this story and what is its place in the teaching of the Holy Scripture.
