Gen. 3:5      Gen. 3:7

Genesis 3:6

When the woman saw that the tree [had fruit that] was good (well suited) to eat and that it was pleasing (attractive, a delight) to the eyes, and that it was a desirable (desirable, tempting) tree because it would give understanding (insight), she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave some to her husband [who was right beside her], and he ate it too.
[There are four verbs in this verse: saw, took, ate, and gave. The visual impressions (it looked good and was outwardly attractive) together with the inner feelings (the promise of greater understanding) led to a fateful decision, see James 1:15; 1 John 2:16. The search for wisdom without God also has to do with pride, see Prov 11:2. The word for covetous is the same as that used in the prohibition against coveting, see Ex. 20:17.]
