Packet 2: Tossup 13

In the Quran this figure, who goes unnamed, is the first to be referred to as zawj. In Gnostic (-5[1])traditions, this embodiment of wisdom (15[1]-5[1])is celebrated for awakening others (-5[1])to the (-5[1])oppressive (-5[1])role of the Demiurge. (-5[1])This figure (-5[1])is told “you will not certainly die” by a being whose descendants are cursed to bite another’s (-5[1])heel. This is the alphabetically (-5[2])later (-5[1])of the two (-5[1])figures whose eldest son (*) murders (10[1])his younger (-5[1])brother (10[1])and travels (10[1])to the Land (-5[1])of Nod (-5[2])after (10[1])being (-5[1])marked. (10[1]-5[4])This (-5[1])figure was born from a (10[1])sleeping (10[1])man’s rib. (10[4])A serpent (10[3])deceived (10[3])this figure (10[1])into eating (10[1]-5[1])from the (10[1])Tree of the Knowledge (-5[1])of (10[1])Good (10[1])and Evil. (10[3])For 10 points, name this biblical (10[1])wife of Adam. (10[3])■END■ (10[15])
