17. This poor old mathom has longer white hair than "Sister, did Adam have a
bellybutton?" The New American Bible renders the passage:

"From that tree you shall not eat; the moment you eat from it you are surely doomed to die."

The verse is a problem only if one iterprets it literally and relies on an outdated translation. The KJV is unexcelled for sheer poetry, but if you want accuracy, you need to go elsewhere.
