THE CUNNING...

Gen 1:3 then Elohim said, Let light be! And there was light...
Gen 1:4 And Elohim saw the light, that IT WAS GOOD...

Gen 1:10 And Elohim called the dry land, Earth...
And Elohim saw that IT WAS GOOD...

Gen 1:12 And the earth bore tender sprouts, the herb seeding seed according to its kind, and the fruit tree producing fruit according to its kind, whichever seed is in it...
And Elohim saw that IT WAS GOOD...

Gen 1:17 And Elohim set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth...
Gen 1:18 and to rule over the day and over the night; and to divide between the light and the darkness.
And Elohim saw that IT WAS GOOD...

Gen 1:21 And Elohim created the great sea creatures, and all that creeps, having a living soul, which swarmed the waters, according to its kind; and every bird with wing according to its kind...
And Elohim saw that IT WAS GOOD...

Gen 1:25 And Elohim made the beasts of the earth according to its kind, and cattle according to its kind, and all creepers of the ground according to its kind...
And Elohim saw that IT WAS GOOD...

Gen 1:31 And Elohim saw everything that He had made...
and behold, IT WAS VERY GOOD...

UP UNTIL THIS POINT, EVERYTHING WAS GOOD, TO VERY GOOD...

TIL THIS...
Gen 3:1 And THE SERPENT WAS CUNNING above every beast of the field which YAHWEH Elohim had made...

(THE SERPENT WAS CREATED GOOD IN PRIOR VERSES, BUT ALSO HAD CUNNING IN ITS DNA...)

H6175
ערוּם ‛ârûm aw-room' Passive participle of H6191; cunning (usually in a bad sense): - crafty, prudent, subtle..
H6191
ערם ‛âram aw-ram' A primitive root; properly to be (or make) bare; but used only in the derived sense (through the idea perhaps of smoothness) TO be cunning (usually in a bad sense): -  X very, beware, take crafty [counsel], be prudent, deal subtly...

THE SERPENT IN ITS CUNNING MADE ADAM AND CHAVA AWARE THEY WERE NAKED - AND THE WORD "ARAM" MEANS TO MAKE BARE!
IT ALSO "COUNSELED" AND "DEALT SUBTLY" WITH CHAVA, TELLING HER EATING THE FRUIT WOULD MAKE HER WISE...

AND MAY I REMIND EVERYONE OF ONE OTHER LITTLE DETAIL???

Gen 2:23 And the man said, This now at last is bone from my bones, and flesh from my flesh; For this shall be called Woman, because out of man this has been taken.
Gen 2:24 Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife and THEY SHALL BECOME ONE (ECHAD, UNIFIED) FLESH...

ADAM AND CHAVA WERE ECHAD - ONE FLESH FROM THE TIME THEY WERE CREATED...THEY ALSO LIVED AND MOVED AS ONE...FELLOWSHIPPING WITH YHVH IN GAN EDEN AS ONE...

THE QUESTION?

HOW DID THE CUNNING GET INTO THE SERPENT, WHEN EVERYTHNG YHVH MADE WAS GOOD???

AND HOW DO WE REALIZE AND DEFEAT ITS CUNNING IN OUR OWN LIVES???
