Man's Mandate and the Prohibition

Genesis 2:15-17

Then the Lord God tooke the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, that he might dresse it and keepe it.

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Thou shalt eate freely of euery tree of the garden,

But of the tree of knowledge of good and euill, thou shalt not eate of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die the death.
