Hashem, the literal creator of everything that Eve knows including herself, and the one who knows the true nature of all things, tells both Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of that one tree. They obey that for a time before literally just some scaly schmuck, who can apparently talk at this point, says to Eve “Nah you can eat it and you’ll be fine. My source is just trust me.” And she believes him. Why? What about the snake’s argument convinced her besides him just contradicting what Hashem said?
And what was the snake’s motivation anyway? What did he have to gain from convincing Eve to eat the fruit? He’s a snake, what is his stake in the fate of humanity?
