Eating From the Tree of Knowledge

Upon placing the first human in the garden of Eden, God immediately commands him not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, lest he die. Several verses later, in Genesis 3, after God has created Adam's counterpart, Eve, a snake convinces her to partake of the forbidden fruit, which she in turn shares with Adam. And while Adam, Eve, and the snake are not punished with death, they are punished.
