The Creation – King James Bible (1611): Genesis 1-2
God created man in his own image. Taken from the Book of Genesis, this
portion of the tale is an exact retelling of the tale from the Bible. From
breathing into the nostrils of a mold that looked like a man from dust to Adam
and Eve still having their innocence and not being ashamed that they were
naked.
The Fall – King James Bible (1611): Genesis 3
In this part of the story, the serpent tempts Eve to eat from the forbidden
tree in the garden. When she ate from the tree, she became ashamed that she was
naked and had Adam eat from the tree. Both ashamed they made themselves aprons
to cover themselves. As a result, God made them leave the garden forever.
The Ideal Man – The Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg
Adam was the perfect man due to being in the image of God. As
generations passed, those who resembled Adam were few in numbers. Adam was
shown the whole of Earth and Adam designated what places were to be settled
later by men, and what places were to remain waste.
The Fall of Satan – The Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg
Satan was the petty child, always wanting the undivided attention from
God. Satan became flamboyant and started to test the patience of God, daring
him to cast him out. And so God flung Satan out of heaven down to earth.
Lilith – The Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg
Lilith was Adam’s first wife but insisted on being his equal, so they
only lasted for a short period of time. She ultimately left Adam and so Adam complained
to God that she left him. He sent angels to capture her. They threatened her,
but she preferred it to being with Adam.
Eve – The Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg
Because of the Lilith fiasco, God did not want to make another woman that
was the same as a man. So he made the woman from a man.
Paradise – The Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg
In this section, the prelude to the Ten Commandments was put forth through;
man should not worship idols; nor blaspheme God; nor commit murder, nor incest,
nor theft and robbery; and all generations have the duty of instituting
measures of law and order.
The Fall of Man – The Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg
Eve gave the forbidden fruit to all beings so that they would also know
death. As a result they all became naked and horny. Because of this they were
ashamed.
The Punishment – The Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg
When God came down from the heavens, both Adam and Eve hid in shame.
When confronted they ratted out the serpent as the one who deceived them. He
made the snake and all his descendants eat dirt as a result.
The Punishment, Part 2 – The Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg
God made the entire world and the moon suffer from Adam and Eve’s
disobedience. God cast them out of the garden permanently.
