When Eve cited God’s command and the penalty for disobeying it, the serpent declared: “You positively will not die. For God knows that in the very day of your eating from [the tree that is in the middle of the garden] your eyes are bound to be opened and you are bound to be like God, knowing good and bad. ”
Kui Eeva mainis Jumala käsku ja karistust sellest üleastumise eest, teatas madu: „Te ei sure kummatigi mitte, vaid Jumal teab, et mil päeval te sellest [keset aeda olevast puust] sööte, lähevad teie silmad lahti ja te saate Jumala sarnaseks, tundes head ja kurja! ”.
