why is the forbidden fruit mistaken for an apple

========================================

It is my understanding that there was something lost in translation?

Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, to English

I believe the "apple" of the Semitic region was the fig, you know like the stuff inside of the fig newton. However, whether one uses fig or apple it does not truly matter to understand what was meant in genesis.

There are many biblical items that have not translated well.

For example, the world bible comes from the Greek word for book.

Bible does not precisely translate to Holy Book, just book.

However, what it precisely translates to and what it means today are 2 different things.
