This work is linked to Genesis 2:25
| (창 2:24) | 이러므로 남자가 부모를 떠나 그의 아내와 합하여 둘이 한 몸을 이룰지로다 |
This panel shows a number of tableaux from Genesis.
Background, center: Eve is created out of one of Adam's ribs. on the foreground the two are addressed by God, who often made a stroll through the Garden.
Background, center-right: Eve has Adam take a bite from the forbidden fruit. Suddenly they are ashamed of their nudity, and hide behind a bush. But the archangel finds them and chases them out of the Garden (background left).
One might be tempted to think that Cranach used rubber dolls as models for Adam and Eve, as they don't seem to have any bones.

| (창 1:20) | ○하나님이 이르시되 물들은 생물을 번성하게 하라 땅 위 하늘의 궁창에는 새가 날으라 하시고  시104:24 |
Standing behind their creator, the animals still have to wait for a day. The newly-created birds and fish show that this must be the fifth day, whereas (according to Genesis) the animals were not created until the sixth day.
The crowded water shows that Jacopo 'Il Tintoretto' Robusti did his best to depict the Creator's command: "Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life [..]".
