Right at the end of Genesis 3, after the consequences for sin and rebellion are given to the serpent, Eve and Adam, we have reiterated for us the big ideas of human existence in these origin stories. Eve is named as the mother of the living - a reaffirmation of the "be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth" of Genesis 1. But while the creation mandate has this echo post-sin entering the world, the consequences of sin continue: God has to cover them and gives of his creation to do so and they are banished from the Garden. So, human dignity and worth are put forth right next to the severity and consequences of sin. Beauty and brokenness. Sin, the flaming sword, and the cherubim and the east of Eden would have evoked for the people of God the Tabernacle and Temple that we the great invitations and hope of God's commitment to life with in the world we were made for.
