In this episode, we delve into the ancient narrative of the Garden of Eden, exploring the interactions between the serpent, the woman, and the man as described in the biblical text. The serpent, described as the most cunning of all creatures, engages the woman in a conversation that leads to the pivotal moment of disobedience against God's command. This act of eating the forbidden fruit opens the eyes of both the man and the woman, leading to a newfound awareness of their nakedness and a subsequent attempt to hide from God. The episode examines themes of temptation, knowledge, and the consequences of actions, as well as the dynamics of blame and responsibility between the man and the woman.

Join us as we explore these timeless themes and their implications for understanding human nature and morality.

[00:00:10] Unknown:

Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, has God really said, you shall not eat of any tree of the garden? The woman said to the serpent, we may eat fruit from the trees of the garden, but not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, you shall not eat of it.   You shall not touch it, lest you die.   The serpent said to the woman,   you won't really die, for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God knowing good   and evil.  

When the woman saw that the tree was good for food,   and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it too. Their eyes were open to the   were   They heard Yahweh God's voice walking in the garden   in the cool of the day, and a man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God   among the trees of the garden.   Yahweh God called to the man and said to him, where are you?   The man said, I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked,   so I hid myself.  

God said, who told you that you were naked?   Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?   The man said, the woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.   Yahweh God said to the woman, what have you   done? The woman said,   the serpent deceived me and I ate.
