Does the word "touch" in Genesis 3:3 orginate from Eve or Satan?
Upvote:4
The words originate with Eve.
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which YHVH God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
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.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
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.
There are three separate breaks between three separate dialogues.
Nobody says anything about touching the fruit except for Eve, so it was either a command from Adam out of fear she would eat it, or she reasoned it in her own head and thought it was true.
Perhaps something for you to consider is that after they eat the fruit, YHVH God says:
Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever
Eating the fruit was how God accomplished βmaking man after His likenessβ, and this involved obtaining the knowledge of good and evil. Why would having sex with a serpent give them this knowledge, or make them like God?
