Gen. 2:25      Gen. 3:2

Genesis 3:1

But the serpent was cunning (Hebr. arom) [Gen. 2:25], more than any of the animals of the field that the Lord God (Yahweh Elohim) had made (Hebr. asah).
[The author plays with different words that sound almost the same but mean different things. Here it is innocent (Hebr. aróm) and cunning (Hebr. arom). Later (verse 7), another similar word is used for naked (Hebr. eróm), but unlike aróm, which means to be innocent, eróm is associated with shame, with being exposed.]
He said to the woman, "Did God (Elohim) really say that you must not eat from any tree in the garden?" [It is clear that this is not an ordinary serpent, but a representative of the Evil One, see Rev 20:2.]
