Genesis 3:5
KJV
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
GNT
God said that because he knows that when you eat it [omit], you will be like God and know what is good and what is bad.”
The GNT entirely omits “your eyes shall be opened,” which is a key statement to understanding the innocent state of Adam and Eve before their disobedience. The KJV rendition is supported by verse 7, which states, “And the eyes of them both were opened…”. This highlights the significant shift in their awareness and understanding after disobeying God’s command.
