God says they can't eat from the tree he put right in front of them, or they'll die, and then leaves them alone with the tree. Serpent says no you won't. You'll get knowledge and be more like God.

You gave me something new to think about. Explaining the gap and how God was afraid we would become a god. Very interesting. Never thought about that one before. Thanks.
