Abstract

The article examines the narratives of the fall in the Book of Genesis. Their analysis is carried out using the author’s methodology. It is assumed that there is a single tradition of describing the fall in the book of Genesis, and the selected plots correspond to it. For the analysis, the most vivid plots containing characteristics of the fall of key personalities are selected: our forefathers, Cain and Abel, the sinful state of people at the Flood, Ham, the construction of the Tower of Babel. The purpose of the article is to answer the question whether it is possible to establish a common tradition of describing the fall in the Book of Genesis.
