Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
And the woman saith unto the serpent, `Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said,
"Ye shall eat of it not, ye shall die"
And the serpent saith unto the woman,
"Ye shall eat of it, not ye shall die"
And Jehovah God saith to the woman, `What [is] this thou hast done?' and the woman saith,
`The (sneaky) snake snaked me -- and I did eat.
according to my Bible study (
At-a-glance/The Bible - Religion-wiki) the fall would have occurred shortly after they left the ark (New Jerusalem) after it landed on Ararat (Mt Hermon?).
(and shortly before they died).
What did God command them not to eat after the flood?
this is also the same time that the scorpions emerge from the smoke and torment men for 5 months (150 days)
Leviticus 17:10-12
Quote:
10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
11 For the life of all flesh is wine given to you upon the altar to atone for your souls: for the wine upon the soul atones.
12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.

the original language had tones so the word juice could mean blood or wine depending on which tone it was expressed with.
When translated into Hebrew the tones were of course dropped
wine symbolizes the Holy Spirit
the injunction against drinking blood is perfectly clear but somewhere along the way some became more equal than others.
