(20) And the man gave names to all the cattle and to the birds of the sky and to all the wild beasts; but for Adam no fitting helper was found. (21) So the LORD God cast a deep sleep upon the man; and, while he slept, He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that spot. (22) And the LORD God fashioned the rib that He had taken from the man into a woman; and He brought her to the man. (23) Then the man said,
“This one at last Is bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh.
This one shall be called woman,
For from man was she taken.”
Genesis 2:
25. And they were both naked (ARUMIM) man and his wife, and they were not embarressed.
1. And the snake was more "ARUM" than all the animals of the field which G-d had made, and he said to the woman, AF - did not G-d say that you can't eat from the trees of the garden?
What does it mean to be ARUM - does it mean naked? If so, the verse makes no sense. It would seem that we need to compare it to 2:25 in which man and his wife were both naked, and the words which are missing from the snake's description of himself lacks the element of embarrassment.
2. And the woman said to the snake: We can eat from the fruit of the trees of the garden.
3. And from the fruits of the tree in the middle of the garden G-d said : don't eat from them, and don't touch them in case you die.
the tree in the middle of the garden must refer to the tree of good and evil. Note, she doesn't call it that, presumably because...
4. And the snake said to the woman: you will not surely die (MOS TEMUTUN)
Why the double language here?
5. Because G-d knows that on the day that you eat from it that your eyes will be opened, and you will be like G-ds knowing good and evil.
Why does knowing good and evil make a person G-d like?
6. And the woman saw that the tree was good for eating, and desirable to the eyes, and the tree was beautiful to behold, and she took from the fruit and she ate, and she gave to her husband with her*, and he ate.
Why does she look at the tree rather than at the fruit?!
Where did Adam appear from? Where was he up to that moment?
7. And the eyes of both of them opened, and they knew that they were naked**, and they sewed for themselves fig leaves and made for themselves cloaks.
What was the element that made them "aware" of their nakedness? Was it the disobeying of G-d's command or was it the nature of the fruit that they ate?
8. They heard the voice of G-d The Judge walking in the garden by the wind of the day, and the man and his wife from G-d The Judge within the trees of the garden.
9. And Hashem the Judge called out to Adam and said to him: Where are you?
10. And he said: I heard your voice in the garden, and I was frightened that I am naked and I hid.
11. And He said: who told you that you are naked? Did you from the tree which I commanded you to eat without it - have you eaten it?
12. And the man said: This woman that you have placed together with me - she gave me from the tree and I ate.
13. And Hashem the Judge said to the woman: What have you done? And the woman said: The the snake convinced me and I ate.
(1) כי ידע FOR [GOD] KNOWS — Every artisan detests his fellow-artisans (“Two of a trade never agree”). The serpent suggested to her: God ate of the tree and created the world (Genesis Rabbah 19:4) so if you eat ... (2) והייתם כאלהים YE WILL BE AS GOD — Creators of worlds.
She wasn't as sure as her husband that she would die "In case", because Adam himself was doubtful whether the command was bound to her as well, because she originated as being one body with him, or whether the commandment was specifically to him and not encumbent on her.
You will be like the agnels who know good and evil within themselves, and not through any lengthy investigations or physical toil.
