The Hebrew word for *evil* in that passage is *ra’ * meaning *adversity*.

Strong’s has these words:

adversity, affliction, bad, calamity, displeasure, distress

Now, if you want to go there and claim that God is the source of evil, as in Satan, and that which is the antithesis of Himself, or if you want to imply that God Himself tempted Adam and Eve through the serpent, and that it wasn’t the devil, then have at it, but I’m not joining you in it.

Well met.

Thanks so much though, for your time.

God be with You and Yours.
