We tend to look at the events in the Bible and be confused. Adam and Eve are given paradise and they throw it away. The world descends into chaos and God wipes it out with a flood, starting over. Similar to Sodom and Gomorrah: wiped out due to its immense sins. The Jewish people, God’s people, are forced to work in Egypt before being set free, only to then get trapped in the dessert by God himself because of their sins.
