Michelangelo: Fall of Man and Expulsion from Paradise (ceiling fresco in the Sistine Chapel)

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Hebrew: עץ הדעת טוב ורע °ez had-da°at tôb wâ-râ; Greek: τὸ ξύλον τοῦ εἰδέναι γνωστὸν καλοῦ καὶ πονηροῦ; Latin: lignum sapientiae boni et mali) stands, according to the Genesis account, together with the tree of life in the middle of the Garden of Paradise. Evil is mentioned for the first time in this place in the Bible. The tree of knowledge is, in the language of the Elohim, which they had already developed on the Old Sun, the physical body of man. The tree of life, on the other hand, means the etheric body {{GZ||253|58ff). In a handwritten note by Marie Steiner it says: "Tree of knowledge means human knowledge." (Lit.:GA 265, p. 342)
