But of the tree of knowledge of good...... thou shall NOT?
Beloved:
I cannot find the reference but this is a complicated Hebrew linguistic thing,
It is a case of "double eat" and like the double dying word " witn an indeterminant time thing between them
it comes out like
You are free to eat from any tree when you eat from the tree of good and evil then that day dying you shall die
Perhaps this is also reflected in Eve's confused response to satan, not to eat or touch it
I will keep looking for it.

Hi Edward,
The two verses below are the only ones out of 40 translations that read a bit differently, I will keep looking.
Gen:2-17 (GW)
But you must never eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because when you eat from it, you will certainly die."
Gen:2 -17 (BBE)
But of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not take; for on the day when you take of it, death will certainly come to you.
--- Quote from: Edward on March 21, 2009, 05:26:55 PM ---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.

H3808 לוא לא lô' lô' lôhlo; a primitive particle; not (the simple or abstract negation); by implication no; often used with other particles: - X before, + or else, ere, + except, ig [-norant], much, less, nay, neither, never, no ([-ne], -r, [-thing]), (X as though . . . , [can-], for) not (out of), of nought, otherwise, out of, + surely, + as truly as, + of a truth, + verily, for want, + whether, without.
Gen 2:16 They were commanded
Of every H4480 H3605 tree H6086 of the gardenH1588 thou mayest freely eat[b[/color]]:H398 H398 [/b] eat eat
Gen 2:17 But of the tree H4480 H6086 of the knowledge H1847 of good H2896 and evil, H7451 thou shalt notH3808 eat H398 (eat) of H4480 it: for H3588 in the day H3117 that thou eatest H398 thereof H4480 thou shalt surely die. H4191 H4191 Dying you shall die
See that there is no surely with the die words, it is back with the Eat word
You are free to eat from any tree surely when you eat from the tree of good and evil then that day dying you shall die
It is like
You are free to drive down any road surily if you drive down that one road you will colide head on.
I told you could drive down any road..
But did I also tell you not to go down one of them ?
It linquistics...a lot like linguini slippery

Here is the word that is used in ch. 3:11
ytlb biltiy bil-tee'
constructive feminine of 1086 (equivalent to 1097); properly, a failure of, i.e. (used only as a negative particle, usually with a prepositional prefix) not, except, without, unless, besides, because not, until, etc.:--because un(satiable), beside, but, + continual, except, from, lest, neither, no more, none, not, nothing, save, that no, without.
And this is the root word from which it is derived.
1086
hlb balah baw-law'
a primitive root; to fail; by implication to wear out, decay (causatively, consume, spend):--consume, enjoy long, become (make, wax) old, spend, waste.
