Show ! The Story of the Bible Told in Pictures i Cast Out of Paradise. When Adam and Eve, disregarding God's commands, had eaten of the fruit of the tree of knowledge their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked. When they heard the voice of the Lord God they hid from His sight And when God questioned them Adara told how Eve had given him the fruit, and Eve in turn blamed the serpent who had beguiled her. God cursed the serpent, condemning con-demning it to travel on its belly all the days of its life. He cast man and woman out of the Garden of Eden, condemning the man to the tilling of the ground whence he came and the woman to the bearing of children. One of a series of Bible pictures by Merian, Seventeenth century engraver. " " |
