I do not intend here to enter fully into the complex subject of "original sin" nor into the consequences that have been drawn from a certain way of understanding it, although this would be a necessary question. The purpose of this contribution is less ambitious. Without attempting to discuss all the details of the text or to take into account the abundant existing bibliography, I try to offer first of all a This is an interpretation in which the essence of the text is not given by the aetiology of sin, but above all by an anthropological question: what is man? How is it possible for a human being to know both good and evil, and at the same time be mortal?
