Chapter 3:  introduction of Satan :

“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.

. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”

Note:  Serpents could speak:  questions  Gods Word:

“the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”

Note:  women misquoted God…

“the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”

Note: 1 John 2:16
King James Version (KJV)
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”

“when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,
that it was pleasant to the eyes, a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,

and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day:”

Note: Lord speaking to God: unless just to Himself.

“Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?

Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she

gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done?

the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;”

Note:  listen and obey God not man, we must know Gods Word.

“Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:”

Note:  They had access to and had probably ate of the tree of like, after sin, The Lord God  couldn’t let them eat again.

“Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
Up to this point the Lord and God have acted and spoken as one, in agreement  and walking together.  In Chapter 4 things change.
