The factual reality of it though, is so much more complicated, that it makes any such conclusion very dysfunctional.
For one thing, regardless of whether you want to maintain that it is an ancient Hebrew narrative or not, there are too many non-Hebrew words in it, words that have literally NO OTHER COMMON HEBREW usage as actual words - for the thing to have logically originated from the Hebrew culture.
An 'Apple of Eden' from the movie 'Assassin's Creed' written by a highly-learned French Algerian. I must admit, this is a very beautiful piece of art and design. |
So where are the apples?
What we have today is a common myth or child's fairy-tale version of the actual Book of Genesis... Once upon a time/innocent 'newly-created' man/woman/beautiful garden/trees/fruit/happiness/problem/things change/snake/scary/bad/and the moral of the story blah blah blah.
The exact word in the original text we all think is 'apple' is mipperi. It definitely doesn't mean 'apple' and maybe it can mean 'come to fruition.'
However there is absolutely no such thing in the Book of Genesis as 'the knowledge of good and evil.' The exact compound word is tov-wa-ra. Tov-wa-Ra is something you could encounter in an applied physics research laboratory in relation to a sine wave.
You see... there are very highly sinister people in the world today, who know exactly, what is in the Book of Genesis. And sometimes when they set out to manipulate people through schemes, they can tend to give things away, but I suppose only to those with sharp, prepared, minds.
You would be just as well-informed, entertaining yourself with the 'Assassin's Creed' movie, in which there are these things called 'the Apples of Eden' - as having some only moderately-skilled person such as myself try and explain what the Book of Genesis actually says.
By the way (maybe I should say this, maybe I shouldn't...) 'Si-Tov-Wa-Ra-Nit' is 'Sutekh' or 'Set' or 'Suty,' or...in our modern language - Satan.
Not in Turkey or Kazakhstan. I'm looking.
