※Was it an apple?!
The description of the tree of "the knowledge of good and evil" leaves no trace as to the exact species of the tree. For many years, this fruit was thought to be an apple. In the original Hebrew, however, at no point is the apple (tapuach, תפוח) mentioned. The myth of the apple developed due to a mistake made by St. Jerome when he created the Latin version of the Bible, known as Vulgate in the year 382.
聖經對「善惡」樹的描述沒有留下樹的確切種類。多年來，這種水果被認為是一種蘋果。 然而，在最初的希伯來語中，沒有提到蘋果（tapuach，תפוח）。蘋果的觀點是由於聖傑羅姆在382年創建拉丁版聖經(Vulgate)時犯下的錯誤，。

※The forbidden fruits
*So what fruit was it then? Jewish sources offer several answers: nut (אגוז, egoz); citron (etrog, אתרוג); vine (gefen, גפן); wheat (חיטה, chitah); and fig (tenah, תאנה).
那是什麼水果呢？猶太源頭提供了幾種可能答案：
堅果 (אגוז, egoz); אֱגוֹז egoz nut
香櫞 (אתרוג eterog); אֶתְרוֹגeterog citron香櫞（指果實，狀如檸檬）、或圓佛手柑、或一種西瓜
葡萄 (gefen, גפן);גֶּפֶן gefenn grape
小麥 (חיטה chitah); חִטָּה khitah wheat
無花果 (tenah, תאנה)；תְּאֵנָה teenah fig
*The two most widespread interpretations are those of the vine and the fig, the prevailing one is of the fig as it is the first tree that appears in Genesis. Moreover, the text recounts that when the first couple realized that they were naked, they sewed a loincloth using a leaf of the fig tree.
最普遍的兩種解釋是葡萄樹和無花果的解釋。流行的解釋是無花果，因為它是出現在創世紀中的第一棵樹。此外，文中還敘述說，當第一對夫婦意識到自己赤身裸體時，他們用無花果樹的葉子編做了一塊腰布。
