Next Eve adds ‘neither shall you touch it’ which is not in the recorded account we have of God’s actual words. This too is important for it now shows that God is crueller than before.

I think it’s pretty cruel to claim that Eve forgot that she could eat from every single tree that covered the planet by assuming she knew the very words of the command given to Adam when he was alone and she wasn’t even around.

So the serpent’s crafty question has begun to make Eve believe that God first of all is ‘stingy’ and second of all he is a harsh God, not even being allowed to touch the fruit.

Stingy? I doubt someone who’s given every single tree on the planet that has seed would look at the giver of food galore as stingy.
