16But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden -17except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”
But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden -
Except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”

Did God "create evil" when He created the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil?
