The appearance of the legs matching both Adam and Eve is a beautiful bit of work, rich with symbolism. • Quadrant 16: God forbids the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil. Note the red serpent already coiled about the trunk. - • Panel 17: They sit under the tree (a first step toward sin, perhaps?). • Panel 18: Satan tempts them and they eat. Note the dark, ominous red background which echoes the serpent from Quadrant 16, and contrasts with the refreshing blue of the previous. • Panel 19: God calls to them, but they hide and make fig-leaf aprons.
• Quadrant 20: Cherubim drives them from the garden and tree of life. • Quadrant 21: Adam digs while Eve spins with a distaff. • Center 22: God/Christ judges their sin but also promises redemption. {? makes covenant with them) • Quadrant 23: Cain takes an axe to Abel's head; the first murder. Abel's name can be made out in text below the panel. Like Abel--and the man in the parable--we have fallen victim to a fallen world, and lie wounded and bleeding. • Quadrant 24: Christ sits to redeem and judge, surrounded by angels. Reminds us that he is the ultimate figure to whom the parable of the Samaritan points.
