Genesis 2:9 ESV
And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Every tree that is pleasant to the eye and good for food comes up out the ground, including the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Both it and the tree of life were in the midst or middle of the garden.
To Adam and Eve that tree appeared as good as the tree of life, except the Lord told them not to eat of it lest they die. Often a way will seem good to a man, though the Lord may say something else. He has a different perspective, the complete view and understanding of everything that's been, is, and going to be, yet it is often hard to let go and let God and trust God. Maybe we are plagued with a little dust in our eyes.
