• Now the snake was the most cunning animal that
  the LORD God had made. The snake asked the woman,
  Did God really tell you not to eat fruit from
  any tree in the garden? (Genesis 31 GNB)
• You may eat the fruit of any tree in the
  garden (Genesis 216 GNB)

13

• We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,
  the woman replied. Its only the fruit from the
  tree in the middle of the garden that we are not
  allowed to eat. God said, You must not eat it or
  even touch it if you do, you will die.
  (Genesis 32-3 NLT)

14

• There is a notable change between what the Lord
  God had said and what the woman says. God said
  you may freely eat, but the woman omits the
  emphatic infinitive, saying simply, we may eat.
  Her words do not reflect the sense of eating to
  her hearts content.
