The snake pushed Eve into the tree?

[Love_Rhombus]

I was rereading a book about the Old Testament, and it said that in some versions the snake pushed Eve against the tree, thus making her realize that it would not kill her as Adam had claimed. Which versions are these?

My guess, looking at Net references about this, is that it may come from recent commentaries on the Chumash or Pentateuch, for example The Chumash: The Stone Edition.

For example, it notes for Genesis 3:4 that Adam, when he told Eve of G-d’s prohibition on the Tree of Life, added to G-d’s prohibition words that G-d did not speak. Adam told Eve that touching the tree would kill her, though G-d never said this. Thus, the commentary says that perhaps the snake pushed Eve against the tree, and when Eve did not die, the snake convinced her that if that one part of the prohibition was false, then the whole prohibition was false.

Anyone else getting an image of the Serpent is if he were a character in Father Ted? ‘Go on, go on, gowan, gowan, gowangowangowangowan…’
