It seems difficult to believe that Eve would not have been suspicious of a talking creature, but at this point in time Eve probably knew next to nothing about animals; and in any case, the serpent, as it existed before the curse (v 14), was a very different creature from the reptile that is familiar to us today.<br><span class="footnotesbot">[b]</span> <span class="fnverse">1</span> Or <i>every</i>.<br><span class="footnotesbot">[c]</span> <span class="fnverse">6</span> This may have been sometime later.
