NASB | Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the LORD God had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, "Can it really be that God has said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" [Rev 12:9-11] |
Bible Question: Had Eve never left the garden, would satan have been able to tempt her? It is obvious, just from reading all the clues in Genesis 3, that satan and Eve's discussion began outside the garden. |
Bible Answer: According to Genesis 2:9, there where two trees in the midst of the garden. The Tree of Life, and the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. The conversation that Eve had with the serpent most likely took place in the midst of the garden. In verse 6 of chp. 3 Eve took of the fruit and ate it. The reason that I believe that they were kicked out of the garden is because they started a sinful chain reaction that can be seen in today’s society. Had they remained in the garden, V.22 says that they might have also stretched out their hands and eaten from the Tree of Life. Which means that they might still be living today to see the magnitude of the damage they’ve caused. Being kicked out of the garden was a blessing to them rather they knew it or not.
