Genesis, Chapter 2

And GOD the LORD formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
A woodcut illustration depicts the creation of Eve. To the left, Adam lies asleep on the ground. From his side, the figure of Eve emerges, her hands joined as if in prayer or being guided. On the right stands God, depicted as an older bearded man with a large, radiant halo of light, dressed in flowing robes, reaching out toward the figures. The background shows a wooded landscape with various trees, including one with a bird perched in its branches.
