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] |
Subject: Why did Eve orginally leave the garden? |
Bible Note: Tomsweetstir: You have stirred some interest in this in me. I went to the Interlinear Bible Hebrew,English Vol 1 by Hendrickson, and read the area you refer to several times and looked at root words. Then I went to my trusted THE EXPOSITTOR'S BIBLE COMMENTARY, by Zondervan, and I could find nothing to even remotely suggest that the temptation took any other place but the "field in the Garden of Eden". perhaps some proof texting is needed to come to your conclusion? As Moses most likely wrote this book of Genesis, some of which Moses wrote is being presented from a third person writting from Yahweh's direction who was there to know fro sure what happened. At least that's how I believe anyway. How Eve received the information is not as important to me, as the fact that she did know to avoid the tree of good and knowledge. Interseting to me is both Adam and Eve knew Good from the begining. What they became aware was the evil, not what was good or better for them, or for us. I wonder if the eating of the fruit was literal eating or to partake of knowing what the tree was all about? I encourage you to keeo thinking aand looking at scripture whit some language tools. Do you have any such tools to use? You have an eager mind and that is refreshing to me. What do you think abiut what I have said? Blessings to you Tom. justme. |
