To backtrack a bit, the Abrahamic Covenant wasn't the first prophecy. The first prophecy begins in Genesis and is fully fulfilled by the book of Revelation.

Genesis 3:14-15
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

This emboldened statement above is the first prophecy. To the serpent God says: “it (the seed of woman, Jesus Christ) shall bruise your head (the head of the serpent), and you (the serpent) shall bruise his heel.”

At this point, sin had entered into this newly created world and as a result, the first Adam had been driven out of the garden which God had created for him. We are not told that Eve was driven from the garden. It appears that Adam’s wife, Eve, had willingly left the garden with her husband.

Gen. 3:23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Outside the garden, Adam had no choice but to till the ground…to make his own garden…in order to survive. They had 2 sons. Soon, one son killed the other. Then another son, Seth.
