The Hebrew word for "knows" is "יָדַע" (yada), which implies an intimate, experiential knowledge. The serpent suggests that God is withholding something beneficial from Adam and Eve, challenging the trustworthiness of God's character. In a conservative Christian perspective, this is the first instance of Satan's deception, casting doubt on God's goodness and His intentions for humanity. that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God knowing good and evil Persons / Places / Events 1. The SerpentA cunning creature used by Satan to tempt Eve. The serpent's role is pivotal in the fall of man, as it questions God's command and introduces doubt. 2. Eve The first woman, created by God as a companion for Adam. She is deceived by the serpent and eats the forbidden fruit, leading to the fall. 3. Adam The first man, created by God. He follows Eve in eating the fruit, resulting in the entrance of sin into the world. 4. The Garden of Eden The perfect paradise where Adam and Eve lived before the fall. It represents the ideal state of communion with God. 5. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil The specific tree in the Garden of Eden from which God commanded Adam and Eve not to eat. Eating its fruit led to the awareness of sin. Teaching Points The Nature of TemptationTemptation often involves questioning God's word and promises. The serpent's words to Eve illustrate how doubt can lead to disobedience. Desire for Autonomy The temptation to "be like God" reflects a desire for independence from God's authority. This desire is at the heart of many sins. Consequences of Sin The fall of Adam and Eve shows that sin leads to separation from God and has far-reaching consequences for humanity. The Importance of Obedience Obedience to God's commands is crucial for maintaining a right relationship with Him. Disobedience leads to spiritual and physical death. The Role of Deception Satan is a deceiver, and believers must be vigilant and grounded in truth to resist his lies.(5) Ye shall be as gods.--Rather, as God, as Elohim himself, in the particular quality of knowing good and evil. It was a high bait which the tempter offered; and Eve, who at first had answered rightly, and who as yet knew nothing of falsehood, dallied with the temptation, and was lost. But we must not comment too severely upon her conduct. It was no mean desire which led her astray: she longed for more know ledge and greater perfection; she wished even to rise above the level of her nature; but the means she used were in violation of God's command, and so she fell. And, as usual, the tempter kept the promise to the ear. Eve knew good and evil, but only by feeling evil within herself. It was by moral degradation, and not by intellectual insight, that her ambitious wish was fulfilled.Verse 5. - For (מאנ ־ כִּי, γαρ, for because; assigning the reason (1) for the devil's, statement, and so, (2) by implication, for the Divine prohibition) God doth know.
