Myth 2: The Status of Woman
Another part of the same myth says that, according to the Torah, God put Adam and Eve up in the Garden of Eden and provided them with everything, but forbade them to eat the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The woman was duped by the Snake (the Devil/Satan) into eating it and she, in tum, tricked her husband into doing the same. God responded to this sin committed by the woman by saying to her:
I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.
I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.
