Adam and Eve
21st in the Biblical Art Series
Legal Tender Coin issued by the Bank of Israel

God created Adam and placed him in the Garden of Eden - the Garden of Delight - the best place on earth, where pleasant trees and fruits were in abundance and there was no need to work hard. "And God said, It is not good for Man to be alone….(Genesis 2:18). "God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man....and He took from one of his ribs and He made a woman and brought her to the Man."(Genesis 2:21-22). Adam called his wife Eve and the couple lived happily together.

However, the Garden of Eden utopia was not to last long. The one limitation to their freedom was not to eat from the alluring fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil but they could not resist the temptation. The sly serpent tempted Eve into tasting the forbidden fruit and she, in turn, tempted Adam. Thus, the most significant sin of mankind was committed by the first couple created and they were banished from the Garden of Eden.
