Ada sih beberapa tafsiran,
Tapi ini tidak tercantum dalam alkitab,
So jangan terlalu dijadikan acuan, apalagi doktrin...
Fruit of the tree
The Book of Enoch 31:4,
Purporting to be written by the antediluvian prophet Enoch (Henokh), describes the Tree of Knowledge:
"It was like a species of the Tamarind tree, bearing fruit which resembled grapes extremely fine; and its fragrance extended to a considerable distance. I exclaimed, How beautiful is this tree, and how delightful is its appearance!"
In the Talmud, Rabbi Meir says that the fruit was a grape. Another Talmudic tradition suggests that Eve actually made, and drank, wine.
Also in the Talmud,
Rabbi Nechemia says that the fruit was a fig. Adam and Eve used fig leaves to cover themselves after eating the fruit (Genesis 3:7). Perhaps this was because the leaves were nearby, or perhaps it shows God creating the cure before the illness, i.e. the same tree that caused the problem was then used to remedy it. Another explanation lies within the "fruit" of the fig tree, the fig itself, which is not actually a fruit but rather a flower of sorts, serving as the tree's genitalia.
Another Talmudic interpretation,
Expressed by Rabbi Yehuda, is that the fruit was wheat.
In Western Christian art,
The fruit is most commonly depicted as an apple, although apples were unknown in the ancient Levant (they originated in central Asia). One possible reason for this would arise from a medieval pun if it were shown that a source of humor to monks lay in consonance of the Latin words for evil and for apple, and thus by eating the malum (apple), Eve contracted malum (evil). There is, however, no textual or historical evidence by which to argue the usage of this image. It may simply be that apples were the most common tree fruit in most parts of Christian Europe.
Proponents of the theory that the Garden of Eden was located somewhere in what is known now as the Middle East suggest that the fruit was actually a pomegranate (delima). This ties in with the Greek myth of Persephone, where her consumption of seven pomegranate seeds leads to her having to spend time in Hades.
Banyak khan tafsirannya...
Sayang alkitab tidak banyak memberikan gambaran mengenai wujud buahnya.
Sebenarnya beberapa terjemahan bahasa Inggris dari Kej 3 : 6 mengatakan :
RWEBSTR
And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her; and he ate.
NKJV
So when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make [one] wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
MESSAGE
When the Woman saw that the tree looked like good eating and realized what she would get out of it--she'd know everything!--she took and ate the fruit and then gave some to her husband, and he ate.
Dalam bahasa Ibrani, memang dikatakan secara hurufiah bahwa yang menarik mata adalah 'pohonnya'. Hanya tafsiran-implied yang mengatakan bahwa 'buahnya' yang menarik mata.
Menarik bukan??
