thereby attaining Eternal Life, and then from the Tree of Knowledge

Not sure I understand your question.
Anyway this is my answer:
Jehovah had warned Adam and Eve that if they were disobedient and ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, they would die “in the day” of their eating. (Genesis 2:17) True to his word, Jehovah called them to account on the very day of their sinning and pronounced the sentence of death. From God’s standpoint, Adam and Eve died that day. To carry out his purpose regarding the earth, however, Jehovah allowed them to produce a family before they died physically. Nevertheless, since God can view 1,000 years as one day, when Adam’s life ended at 930 years, it was within one “day.” Thus Jehovah’s truthfulness was upheld as to when punishment would be executed, and his purpose for the earth was not thwarted by their deaths. But for a time, imperfect people, including wicked ones, have been allowed to live.

He gave them choices, and he told them of there consequences, just as he has done to everyone, through the Bible. It pretty much bulls down to either you make the right choices and your reward is great, or you make the wrong choices and your reward is damnation..
