Genesis 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.
God tells Adam (the only human being alive at the time) not to eat the fruit.
Gen. 2:22
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
God makes Eve. AFTER he warned Adam not to eat. Eve has not heard the warning against Tree of Knowledge fruit.
Gen. 3:1
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
3:2
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3:3
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
The serpent tempts Eve, which she resists thanks to God's warning... which she was not alive to hear?!
Gen. 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.
Eve gives fruit to Adam... with or without telling him it's the fruit of knowledge? And how would she know anyway?
