📚 Historical Context
This passage occurs in the Garden of Eden, where God had placed the first humans with only one restriction - not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The serpent had just convinced Eve that eating the fruit would make her like God, knowing good and evil. This moment represents what theologians call 'the Fall' - humanity's loss of innocence and perfect relationship with God.
