And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field. [Illustration] 5 _The serpent deceiveth Eve._ GEN. iii. 4, 6. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die.

There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. [Illustration] 8 _Babel built._ GEN. xi. 4, 8.
