test
Fig. 2 A man and a woman sit under the Tree of Life as a snake rears up beside the woman, in a scene similar to that of the serpent in the Garden of Eden. A small cylinder seal – one of thousands excavated in Mesopotamia – was used to impress the scene into clay at Babylon, about 2500 B.C. (Image courtesy of © The Trustees of the British Museum.

Now the serpent was more subtile than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made – GENESIS 3:1
