God said ‘Man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.’ God banished him from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out God placed a cherubim on the east side of the Garden of Eden with a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life. Richard LEWER The serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals that God had made. He said to the woman ‘Did God really say that you must not eat from any tree in the garden?’. She replied ‘We may eat fruit from all the trees in the garden except for the tree in the middle of the garden or we will die’. The serpent convinces the woman she will not die and will instead gain wisdom from eating the fruit. Richard LEWER Buyers and sellers (Christ driving out the money changers) Louis DUFFY Henry IV, King of France Pierre FIRENS; Hendrick GOLTZIUS (after) Soundsuit Nick CAVE This is the account of the heavens and then earth when they were created, when God made the earth and the heavens. No shrub had yet appeared on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the earth. Then God formed a man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breathe of life, and the man became a living being. Richard LEWER Adam and Eve are walking in the garden one day and hear the sound of God, they hid amongst the trees. God calls ‘where are you?’ Adam answers ‘I heard you in the garden and was afraid because I was naked so I hid.’ God said ‘How did you know you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree I commanded you not to eat from?’ The man said ‘Eve gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.’ God said to Eve ‘What is this you have done?’ Eve said ‘The serpent deceived me and I ate it’. Richard LEWER Out of the ground God formed all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to man and asked him to name each living creature. He gave names to all the livestock, wild animals and birds in the sky.

He named him Adam, commanding him ‘to eat from any tree in the garden, except for the tree of knowledge of good and evil’ for if he was to eat from the tree of knowledge he would certainly die.
