Reference Tombo’s original supposition that the bible is vague about the Fall I think that's questionable. It's not specific, but it's clear if you know what I mean. I can’t be bothered to post it all but there are loads of sites that give chapter and verse (literally) on what happened. God said don’t, or you’ll die, Adam did, Satan fell (at or before this time) and although Adam didn’t die for another 200 years there are zillions of specific references showing that the original “die” had meant “be withdrawn from God” and that all subsequent humans have been born in sin. I’m sure early Xtians would have got the full message, long before Milton.
