1 The serpent was more cunning than any of the other wild animals that the Lord God had made. He asked Eve, “Did God really say that you can't eat fruit from every tree in the garden?”

Passage themes

The tempter's cunning — Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field
A beast that speaks — And he said unto the woman
Doubt sown — Yea, hath God said

Notes and references

“Every”: the word could also be translated “any,” however this would then mean that the serpent was suggesting that God had told Adam and Eve not to eat fruit from any tree in the garden, which seems less likely.
