NASB | Genesis 2:9 Out of the ground the LORD God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 2:9 And [in that garden] the LORD God caused to grow from the ground every tree that is desirable and pleasing to the sight and good (suitable, pleasant) for food; the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the [experiential] knowledge (recognition) of [the difference between] good and evil. [Rev 2:7; 22:14, 19] |
Bible Question: What happened to the tree of knowledge of good and evil? |
Bible Answer: Yes. Genesis 6 talks about the flood. :-) But you've made me think. Obviously 10 months under water didn't kill all the vegetation. So conceivably that tree, or a seed thereof, could be somewhere on earth. Since the bible doesn't specify the type of tree, it could be the apple tree for all we know. I'm more interested in what happened to the tree of life. Did it have enough life in it to withstand the flood? :) |
