Comments
Adam hasn't died physically in the day he ate it. Victor Porton claims that "you die" here means "the operating system of your brain will hang". See also Theology:Fall_of_the_man.
Analyzing of information presented on this page is complete (even with spaces hypothesis). That is, all variants of translation were considered carefully. No warranty however, that nothing is missing.
