CHAPTER 3:6-14, 21

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?”

He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.

CHAPTER 3, VERSES 21-24

The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. And the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

There was ONLY ONE COMMANDMENT and the BROKE IT!.................................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Sad but true.

[etabeta]

Glad you included the miniature from the Limbourg Brothers, excellent.
Favorites are Benjamin West at #22, Tissot at #28 and Stanhope at #29.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Wonderful choices, Alba. I would add #16 Natoire and #23 Cabanel.

[Vendome]

An apple a day keeps ...oh wait...

Beautiful

[Hebrews 11:6]

There are some real beauties today.

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Speaking of beauties....Mary-Lou!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

You had just one job! LOL

[Scott from the Left Coast]

#3 and #9

[Hebrews 11:6]

Good choices. If you're not familiar already with Doré (#3), get ready, because he'll be in nearly every thread. And here is a compendium..

[Scott from the Left Coast]

I think he conceptualized it well, Adam and Eve retreating further and further into the darkness to try and hide their sin from the light.

[TheConservativeParty]

An amazing collection! Thank you very much.

[Hebrews 11:6]

My pleasure.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Thanks for continuing your wonderful series!

I enjoyed seeing the various portrayals of cherubim. I rather liked Tissot showing 3 cherubs. The scripture says ‘ 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side[e] of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.’

Cherubim is plural, as indicated by the ‘im’ plural ending. God doesn’t reveal how many cherubim He used. My take is Ezekiel 1, where God shows 4 cherubim. Read the description of the cherubim in Ezekiel 1, and you’ll realize one is plenty.

[Hebrews 11:6]

one is plenty

And Lucifer is even plentier.
