CARSE Ephraim Bonus, Jewish physician REMBRANDT Harmensz. van Rijn God said to the serpent ‘Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life’. To the woman he said ‘I will make your pains in childbearing severe and with painful labour you will birth children. Your desire will be for your husband and he will rule over you.’ To Adam he said ‘Because you listened to your wife ate the fruit, cursed is the ground because of you. Through painful toil you will eat food and it will produce thorns and thistles. You will work the fields by the sweat of your brow and you will eat your food until you return to the dust of the ground from where you came.’ Richard LEWER God planted a garden in the east, Eden. There he put the man he formed and made all kinds of tress grow from the earth, trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden was the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Richard LEWER Study for The Vicar of Wakefield William Powel FRITH Travellers by a well Andries BOTH The right of way Frederick WALKER 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.

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
