"When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it." Genesis 3:6
In the Qbible "pleasing" can also be translated as "longing" as if it makes the eyes long for it. This verse makes you wonder what the man was doing in the last verse. If he was there with his wife the entire time why didn't he speak up and correct her and the serpent. Was he just willing to go along with his wife whether or not it was doing something God had told them not to? Or was he there listening to the snake and wanting that knowledge the tree would give?
