Citat:
... För den som är på riktigt intresserad av arvsynd, varför konsekvensen var döden, hårt slit och smärta vid barnafödande och vad som egentligen hände med kunskapens träd (och hur en orm kan vara satan och kunna tala) mm rekommenderar jag följande studie:
Exempel på vad som i samtiden talades om som frukt, samt vad det innebar att "bli som en gud":
"God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”"
(1 Mose 1:28)
"Shamhat unfastened the cloth of her loins,
she bared her sex and he took in her charms.
She did not recoil, she took in his scent:
she spread her clothing and he lay upon her.
She did for the man the work of a woman,
his passion caressed and embraced her.
For six days and seven nights
Enkidu was erect, as he coupled with Shamhat.
When with her delights he was fully sated,
he turned his gaze to his herd.
The gazelles saw Enkidu, they started to run,
the beasts of the field shied away from his presence.
Enkidu had defiled his body so pure,
his legs stood still, though his herd was in motion.
Enkidu was weakened, could not run as before,
but now he had reason, and wide understanding.
He came back and sat at the feet of the harlot,
watching the harlot, observing her features.
Then to the harlot’s words he listened intently,
[as Shamhat] talked to him, to Enkidu:
‘You are handsome, Enkidu, you are just like a god!
Why with the beasts do you wander the wild?"
(Gilgamesh eposet)

"In the literature of Sumer, Babylon and Assyria one encounters a broad variety of sexual metaphors. This study focuses upon sexual metaphors taken from garden imagery, including such terms as fruit and eating, found in a variety of cuneiform texts. After cataloging a select few ancient Near Eastern examples of such metaphors, the focus shifts to ancient Hebrew literature, the Bible and the Talmud, seeking similar examples of fruit, garden and eating images. Following the presentation of several biblical and talmudic sexual metaphors, a detailed analysis of the Garden of Eden narrative in the Hebrew Scriptures reveals that the biblical writer was familiar with such usage and even employed sexual fruit metaphors ii. the story of Adam and Eve. Finally, in pursuit of a better understanding of knowledge and sexual knowing, a comparison is made between the Garden narrative and an episode from the Gilgamesh Epic known as the Seduction of Enkidu (tablet I:160-93). From this comparison we learn that the ascent of knowledge theme is a part of the structure of both narratives."
