When did God forbid Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil?

Question

I could not find in Genesis 2. Could some one correct me.
Or Adam told her.

In Genesis 2:2-3 Eve mentioned that "We" were told.

in Genesis 3:2-3 Eve mentioned.... ( not Genesis 2:2-3 Sorry )

Thank for answers. So far no1 had answered my question.

I knew Adam was told by God in Genesis 2:16 However, Eve was not created yet.

Answer 1

According to Gen. 2:15, God commanded Adam that he not eat of the tree of good and evil. This was prior to the creation of Eve which begins in Gen. 2:18.

As the man is the head, it is his responsibility to guide his wife spiritually...thus the concept of submissiveness on the part of the wife. I find no other reference to Eve herself being told by God not to eat of the tree.

Just a side comment also. I see this as the reason that God punished Adam as well as Eve. Not simply because he too tasted of the fruit...but that he had allowed his wife to go against God's command.

Answer 2

Genesis 2:15-18 God told Adam

Answer 3

The role of the man in the family is to be an instructor giver in the things of God. That is why it is so important that men be marriages and father children inside of marriage. Adam instructed Eve. What does the scripture teach: God over Christ; Christ over man; man over woman. You see this played out in the garden of Eden.

Answer 4

God told both Adam and Eve not to eat from a particular tree but the devil deceived them both and caused them both to eat from it and thus both were sent out of heaven to Earth

Answer 5

not that i believe the biblical account to be accurate but the understand on the subject is thus,God told her not to eat from that tree because he was testing Eve,he could have forbid her from eating the fruit of any tree it just happened to be that particular one.in reality of course there was no tree or garden of Eden

Answer 6

Never. The correct account was given to us by Jesus in The Apocryphon of John, not Genesis.

Answer 7

When Ms. E was speaking with the serpent, she quoted God as to what He commanded her, "...God has said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.' "

Specifically *when* is not mentioned.

Answer 8

(Gen 2:16-17) "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: {17} But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

When it says "God commanded the man" it includes the women, as she was with him and under his headship. Therefore when the devil probed her in asking, "hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" (seeking to deceive her into disobeying the only thing they were commanded not to do), she replied, "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" (Gen. 2:2, 3).

If i may continue, Eve then (v. 6) gave into the three basic lusts of mankind, that of the lust of the flesh (sensual gratification= it was good to eat), and the lust of the eyes (possessions = it was attractive to the eyes), and the pride of life (prestige = it was desired to make one wise). All of which things God gives us to enjoy (in the right time and way) as we love and obey Him who alone is perfect, almighty and eternal. And who thus commands us not to put other gods before Him, for when created things hold our highest affection or trust (becoming our gods), then we hurt ourselves and others, and they will ultimately fail us.

The latter is what Eve did when she believed the lie of the resentful devil, who lives to turn people away from God and seeks their destruction, which lie was that God's laws are not for our highest good, but that He is keeping us from what is best. Yet as this story and history shows, sin will ultimately (and usually very shortly) take us where we do not want to go, keep us longer than we wanted to stay, and cost us more than we wanted to pay.

Adam however, is held primarily responsible, as he was not deceived as the women, but knowingly choose to not only allow her to sin, but went along with the crowd so to speak, giving into his wife, rather than God who graciously gave her to him (and he to her). And as our sins not only affect ourselves but also others to varying degrees -even including future generations - we now live in a world cursed by sin.

But we all have sinned after the manner of Adam and Eve, not only allowing ourselves to be fooled by the deceitfulness of sin, which pleasures are only for a season, but have willfully did that which was wrong, and even worse, many have led others to do so as well.

Mankind collectively has misused the good things and broken the good laws God gave us for our own good (and made a mess of His planet). God, however, is perfectly holy and just and will not allow Heaven to become like earth, and must and does punish sin, and those that die in their sins cannot dwell in the Holy City of God, but "shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death" (Rv. 21:8).

But rather than letting all mankind go on their own merry miserable way to Hell, helpless and unhindered, God calls all man to repent, as most incredibly, He has provided for our salvation on His expense and goodness, that of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, who loved us and gave Himself for us.

It was Jesus Christ whom God the Father sent to be the Savior of the world (1Jn. 4:14), and " who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him" (Acts 10:38b). And

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." (1 Pet 2:24).

"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit" (1 Pet 3:18).

"In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins" (Col 1:14).

"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." (Acts 3:19) .

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" (Rom 10:9).

Those who truly do repent and believe receive the life-giving Holy Spirit of Christ and follow Him, and this decision is shown by being baptized under water in identification with Jesus.

it is my prayer than you know Him who alone can say, "said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Heb. 13:5).

Praise the Lord!
