What it depicts

Genesis 3:1-7Opened by a notation lookup, not by an editor. Iconclass 71A4 glosses this subject as “Temptation and Fall (Genesis 3:1-7)”, and this library reads the Douay-Rheims, where the passage stands at Genesis 3:1-7.

1Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman: Why hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise?

2And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat:

3But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.

4And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death.

5For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.

6And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to behold: and she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave to her husband who did eat.

7And the eyes of them both were opened: and when they perceived themselves to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves, and made themselves aprons.
