The biblical tree of life or tree of life (Hebrew: עץ החיים; Etz haChayim) is mentioned in the Bible book of Genesis in verse 2:9 as the tree that was planted by God in the Garden of Eden (Paradise) together with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and of which the fruits give eternal life (immortality). After Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the Bible records that they were banished from the Garden of Eden to prevent them from eating the fruit of the tree of life: "And the LORD God said, 'Now the man has become like us, knowing good and evil; now therefore I will not let him take fruit from the tree of life, for if he eats of it he will live forever.'" The tree of life is depicted in several examples of sacred geometry and is a central point in Kabbalah (the mystical study of the Torah), where it is represented as the sefirot. The Germanic tree of life. The Irminsul was an important shrine for the Saxons of the eighth century CE, probably with great symbolic significance. It is mentioned and briefly described in the Annales regni Francorum, the Translatio St. Alexandri by Rudolf of Fulda and in the Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum (Book I, Chapter 8) by Adam of Bremen. Both the latter use exactly the same words and describe the Irminsul as a large, upright wooden trunk which, according to the Saxons, supported the entire world. Adam of Bremen, however, claims that he adopted the data from Einhard (c. 770-841). His work, however, has not been preserved. In Einhard's words according to Adam of Bremen: Truncum quoque ligni non parvae magnitudinis in altum erectum sub divo colebant, patria eum lingua Irminsul appellantes, quod Latine dicitur universalis columna, quasi sustinens omnia. Translated this means: They also used to worship a wooden trunk of no small size, erected on high under the open sky, which they called in the language of their native country Irminsul, which in Latin is called universalis columna (= all-column), which as it were supported everything. The Kabbalistic Tree of Life is a model with which Hermetic Kabbalists symbolically represent the entire universe and its origin. This Tree of Life has a different form from the one known to the Jewish Kabbalists. The first publication in which this Tree of Life appeared was Athanasius Kircher's Oedipus Aegypticus from 1652. Robert Fludd adopted this diagram in a modified form in his Complete Works from 1617.
