ELTB 1.0010



I have given you all the other trees to eat. [1] They represent all the things I want to teach you.

This tree would teach you something I don't want you to learn. It will teach you to disobey me; to make your own rules; it will teach you the lie that you are a God, and when you eat from it you will be separated from me." [2]

}}

God then made a friend and wife for Adam from Adam. He called he Eve. [3]

One day Eve was near the forbidden tree and she saw some animals eating the fruit of the tree. They didn't die! She thought to herself, "Maybe the fruit isn't bad for animals. But I am not an animal, I am from Adam's rib!" [n 1]

Then the serpent came by. He approached a large fruit. Eve thought to herself, "Surely he can't eat that!" But the serpent unhinged his jaw and swallowed it whole. "Oh, he will choke on it!" But she watched in amazement as the fruit kept it's shape and traveled down the serpent's body. "Eve..." said the snake, "You won't die from eating the fruit. [4]

Look at me! God created me in a wonderful way. [5]

If fruit looks good and smells good, I just eat it. I just do what God made me to do. Are you sure you heard God right? Oh you didn't hear it from God? Adam told you? Maybe he didn't get it right. You breathe like me and eat like me... go ahead." [6] When Eve took a bite, immediately she learned to disobey God [7] . She made her own rules. She thought she was like God making rules, just by disobeying. She gave Adam some.

  1. ↑ Since the serpent was 'more subtle' than the other animals, the other animals were tempting Eve in a blatant way.
  1. ↑ ▸ ± Ge 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
  2. ↑ ▸ ± Ge 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
  3. ↑ ▸ ± Ge 2:18 And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
  4. ↑ ▸ ± Ge 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
  5. ↑ ▸ ± Pr 30:18-19 There be three [things which] are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: 19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
  6. ↑ ▸ ± Ge 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
  7. ↑ ▸ ± Ge 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they [were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Now Adam knew what God said [1] , but he watched Eve eat. He thought to himself, "It can't be as bad as God said. Eve didn't die, and she thinks it's good. God gave her to me to help me [2] , and it's what she made for dinner." [3] So he ate it. Immediately he learned to disobey God. He learned to make his own rules as if he were a god. [4] [5]

Furthermore, he didn't believe that God loved him and was now afraid of God. [6] So he hid in the tree. [7] [n 1] [v 1]

He learned those things that God didn't want him to know. The tree was called the "Tree of the knowledge of good and evil". It taught Adam how to be evil. There was nothing magic about the tree. All he had to do was disobey God.

  1. ↑ "in the tree" because 'tree' עץ is singular. Later when God cannot find them, it is the teaching that when you are hidden in the tree/cross, he does not see you or your sin, only the work of Christ.
  1. ↑ ▸ ± 1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
  2. ↑ {{bgw| Ge 2:18 ¶ And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
  3. ↑ ▸ ± Ge 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
  4. ↑ ▸ ± 1Jo 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
  5. ↑ "to know" לדעת - from yada ידע (know, declare, teach). 'teach ל the commandment ד by the flesh ע as the revelation of life ת.' He was defining and declaring good and evil for himself.
  6. ↑ ▸ ± 1Jo 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
  7. ↑ ▸ ± Ge 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God [in the tree] of the garden.
