You do know that you have contradicted yourself in this sentence don't you?
No I haven't. People can know things without being intimate with them.
To lack knowledge is the same as saying you do not know.
Nope, not at all. You can lack knowledge of an area or thing but still know about the thing. They knew it was wrong, but they didn't have an intimacy with what wrong really was. Their awareness and knowledge was limited. For example, I know what a woman's cycle is, but I haven't experienced it, and so my knowledge is limited.
Think of it this way to use an old-fashioned and biblical use of "know." A man may know who a woman is, but not "know" her.
God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it,
is this 1984 or something? She clearly knows God doesn't want them to eat the fruit. Isn't that what it says?
God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it,
How can you read it any other way? You seem to be claiming she is saying God said to eat the fruit.
