When Satan spoke to Eve in the Garden of Eden, he primarily lied about God's character and what would happen if she ate the fruit. He questioned God's command, suggesting that God was withholding something valuable from her. In Genesis 3, he misrepresents God's instruction by saying that if Eve eats the fruit, she will not surely die, but instead, her eyes will be opened, and she will be like God, knowing good and evil. This manipulation led Eve to doubt God's word and ultimately to disobey Him.
