edpro.pits@yahoo.com:

  I was just checking in the book of Genesis ch. 2 and I did not find the word "NOT" in the ch. 2 vs 17 in the original writings.

  Does any one have any info on this?

Thanks in advance.

Genesis 2:17  But of the tree <`ets> of the knowledge <da`ath> of good <towb> and evil <ra`>, thou shalt not eat <'akal> of it: for in the day <yowm> that thou eatest <'akal> thereof thou shalt surely <muwth> die <muwth>.

 The word's that are used are -Tree, Knowledge, Good, Evil, Eat: Day, Eat, Die, Die.

This verse is from a program called "Sword Searcher".

I don't know if E-Sword wold have the same writings but I assume it does.

I have yet to find any Hebrew word which means 'not'...I think this is an issue of understanding the ancient hebrew language and not whether 1 exact word in Hebrew translates to another 1 exact word in english. Remember:

Gen 3:4  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die [there is no 1 hebrew word which means 'not' in this scripture]

1 Tim 2:14  And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression [there would not be any 'transgression' if the word 'not' or any other negative connotation was not understood from the account of Adam & Eve partaking of the tree of knowledge]


Hope this helps,

Genesis 3:11  And he said <'amar>, Who <miy> told <nagad> thee that thou wast naked <`eyrom>? Hast thou eaten <'akal> of the tree <`ets>, whereof I commanded thee <tsavah> that thou shouldest not <biltiy> eat <'akal>?

It's funny because in ch. 3:11 their is the negative. So I'm not sure why it's used here and not in ch. 2
