Or you can say the other foods wouldn't have brought pleasure (Figs are considered the most "pleasureful" of the 7 species since they are the only ones that you eat the whole thing including skin and the seeds (before gmo grapes) see also sefaria.org/Shabbat.140b.7) and a Talmid Chacham is supposed to wait to have pleasure on shabbat (sefaria.org/Ketubot.62b.5). | |

Adam could've and was permitted to eat from everything else, even if it was Shabbos, only not from the Eitz HaDaas. | |
| Feb 19 at 17:26 | comment | added | Mordechai | I don't know of a source that says what the fruit of that tree was. The Midrash says it's Torah (Pirkei d'Ribbi Eliezar 12:3) sefaria.org/Pirkei_DeRabbi_Eliezer.12.3 | |
| Feb 19 at 16:20 | comment | added | Shmuel | TY, but why was the Eitz HaChaim then permissible, based on this explanation? | |
