What Really Happened In The Garden Of Eden?

The fable about Adam and Eve eating the apple in the garden is incorrect. The word apple isn't even in the Book of Genesis. The following is from Genesis 2:25-3:7 explaining how Adam and Eve partook of the tree of knowledge of good and evil (satan).

  • Genesis 2:25-3:7  (25) And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. (3:1) Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (2) And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: (3) but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. (4) And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: (5) for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. (6) And when the woman saw the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. (7) And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Adam and Eve were covering their nakedness with the fig leaves, because satan took advantage of their innocence. They realized what they had done and were ashamed for disobeying God.

Eve explains to God what had happened in Genesis chapter 3.
  • Genesis 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman. What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
The word "beguiled" in the Hebrew is "nasha" which means "to seduce." Satan seduced, or mated, with Eve.
