Description of Illustration: black and white clip art of Adam and Eve and their three male descendants: Cain, Abel, and Seth referred to in Genesis, also included in the drawing is the tree producing the fruit of knowledge between good and evil, the viper represents a fallen arc angel known to those that read scripture as 'satan.' There is also a human skeleton in a casket at the couples feet that represents 'Death' This is a symbol meaning Adam and Eve's descendants are born spiritually dead and must be 'born again' through the redeemer - who is Christ. There are no female heirs depicted here because at the time of the record being included in scripture by the Jewish scholars, female heirs where not normally named.
The Book of Job, believed by scholars to be the actual oldest transcribed book included in the Bible does, however, list and name female heirs among the remembered children of Job. Job was a believer in God but not Jewish, so I guess this is one of several reasons for his female heirs to be recorded.
And, of course, in Jesus' family tree...all mothers in direct lineage to Christ are listed and remembered and their stories are included in both the Old and New Testaments.

Thought About Who God Is:
“Christ’s thought of God was that of a being clothed with
matchless simplicity and beauty. He affirmed that God is man’s Father, who made His earthly child in His own
image; that man is a miniature of the Divine Being; that
what reason and judgment and memory and love are in the
small in man, they are in the large in the great God. . .
Christ revealed God as the world’s great burden-bearer full
of an exquisite kindness and sympathy; that what He was
through thirty-three years, God is through all the ages;
that what He was to publican and sinner in Bethlehem, God
is for all maimed and wrecked hearts in all worlds; that no
human tear falls but that God feels it; that no human blow
smites the suffering heart but that God shrinks and suffers;
that with wistful longing He follows the publican and the
prodigal, waiting for the hour when He may recover the
youth to his integrity, or lead the man grown gray in sin
back to his Father’s house.” —N. D. Hillis.

Description of Illustration: The yellow letter "E" for Esau in full color, floral border and tiny, miniature illustration of Rebekah giving birth to her twins, Jacob and Esau, two midwives, text is from the Book of Genesis:
"The LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, the older will serve the younger." When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb. The first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him Esau. After this, his brother come out, with his hand grasping Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them. The boys grew up and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the open country, while Jacob was content to stay at home among the tents." Genesis 25: 23-27 (NIV)
