So when the woman saw that the tree was
good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to
be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave
some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
Sin always tries to make anything off
limits seem more attractive merely by its unattainability. It makes things once
ignorable into objects of infatuation by their allusiveness. The tree looked
the same before the serpent spoke as it did afterward, but it looked
differently to Eve after he had placed his spin on things.
