He said to the woman: “Then God said: you shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” “The woman answered the serpent: ...”Of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God said: you shall not eat of it... under penalty of death” “The serpent replied to the woman: “Not at all! You shall not die! But God knows that...you will be like gods who know good and evil”.
