3 Book of Genesis Adam and Eve (Dust and Rib) Tree of Knowledge
Original Sin Talking Snakes Forbidden Fruit The Fall of Man Sodom and Gomorrah Tower of Babel Tower of Babel: The story of Babel is told in Genesis to explain how all the different languages in the world began. It’s told that in the beginning of the world, everyone spoke the same language. People migrated from the east and settled in a city called Shinar, where they decided to build a tower. As God became jealous in their unity and the fact that the people were all gathered in one place, he confounded their speech and spread them across the world so that they could not understand each other. The main theme here is God’s competition with humans, as seen multiple times across Genesis. Sodom and Gomorrah: Cities destroyed by God using fire and brimstone. These have become metaphors for vice and homosexuality. The two cities were considered to be a deviation from divine ruling, exuding sin.
