A cxxr*»|»>odvnt aaka how the apple

temptation tn the ganb-n of Eden

fruit, of tbe tree of the know ledge of

any answer ao far aa be w*» able to
learn
Tbrre la an answer, however, and
tbat a very simple one. which will
prolwbly satisfy this Inquirer and many
others wbo might aak Ito« name «pi«-*
tioCL
It la true that In the Hebrew the
words are 'eta peri.'’ the fruit of the
tree, and the Greek and I* tin version»
ao translat» them. The X uIrate u*es
the word "fructum" for fruit, ami thia
could not tn any way be miatakeu for
tbe specific fruit apple
it |a further
admitted by scholar» who bold tbat
the paradise of tbe Bible, which tn alao
described upon clay tablets of B»by-
mulan literature, wa« located near tbe
Euphrates and the Tlgriv, or tn g trvp
leal country, where no apples eoulii
possibly grow, so that tbe fruft of thia
tree could not have been an »ppi««
in a tablet lately translated. whl< b
originated In Nippur and 1» now In the
museum of the ("nlverslty of Pennsyl­
vania tn Philadelphia, the fruit la do
scribed aa the fruit <>f the «-»««la plant,
, according to Dr. Mudon. This Is peg
slbla. for that plant 1» well known In
' the region
But the question of bow tbe apple
came into th-« story la still unanswered,
and no tablet will answer It. for nona
could mention a fruit unknown to
the Babylonians, no« growing in their
' country.
We have to go far afield to » »certain
tbe origin of the error, for the use of
the word apple Is an error
It came
about from tbe coufualon of «wo words
in tbe Vatin "Fne tum ' means fruit,
and so does "pomum " Rut ’pomum''
also means apf>«e, and sonu« an« lent
scholar filled wi'h latla words wrote
*pomuin'' Ina’ead of • fnictum" In
translating this pa»»ag« and It was
Interpreted aa specific- namely, apple—
instead of general that la. fruit
There la. however, another reason
for thia confusion, and tbe persistence
of tbe Idea 1» shown In many of th»
paintings by the old masters, who
sometimes depict a tree laden with
apples fmm which Eve has just picked
one and la handing It to Adam
Tbe apple pis ye a great part In the
mythology of tbe Greeks and Romans,
where we find the apples of Hrs|>crldaM
amt tbe golden apple offer«»! to the
moat beautiful of the goddesses, which
started all tbat famous trouble for
Tarts, ending tn tbe siege amt destruc­
tion of Tmy
Tbe confusion of Ideas probably
ar«'»» from tbe a«a«> latlon of the ap­
ple with critical turn» In the affairs of
men and suggested at least .tbe s|>e
rifle Interpretation or translation of
••frnctnm" or ••pomum'' by “apple “
The fart is that, so far as the Bible
itself go«-», no »|a-clflc fruit la men
Honed. and It la spoken of only aa tbe
tree of the knowledge of g«a«d etui evU
But there la another fruit tree men

Genest» ill. 7. It 1» said. “And they
sew rd tig leaves together and mad»
themselves aprons *’ l‘«*»lbly on this
account It la a Hebrew tradition that
Eve ate of tbe fig tree, but that has
never been Introduced Into Biblical
test
Tbe flg tree plays a very tmp«>ru»t
part tn tbe myths of many an- lent na­
tion«. In legend the holy family rest­
ed under a fig tree on their Journey
to Egypt.
