📚 Historical Context
In the Garden of Eden, God had commanded Adam and Eve that they could eat from any tree except the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, as part of His instructions for their life in paradise. When the serpent, often seen as a cunning tempter, began questioning Eve about God's words, she responded by accurately recalling the permission to eat from the other trees. This moment is part of the larger narrative leading to the Fall, highlighting humanity's vulnerability to deception.
