📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of Genesis, God had created Adam and Eve and placed them in the Garden of Eden, giving them dominion over all creation but forbidding them to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve encountered the serpent, who tempted her by questioning God's command, leading her to view the tree's fruit as desirable for food, beauty, and wisdom. This moment marks the pivotal event of humanity's first act of disobedience, known as the Fall, which introduced sin and its consequences into the world.
