Ok, I mixed up the Babylonian King with the King of Yehudah. She spoke about both. I forgot who was who living in the temple or palace and the garden. Yes, I know that babtism was once washing in a mikvah. I know what it is for Jews purifying the person and I know what Christians made out of it. That is why I critized it. It already sounds silly and absolutly not logical. What would make more sense would be babtising an adult. However, in that case it might have more the orginal Jewish meaning of purifying the person. But I am not sure about that. Yes, she seemed to have not mentioned that the orginal sin does not exist in Judaism. She did mention that the story supposed to be the beginning of the world and mankind for Jews. As Raphael from Ohel Avraham reminded me Rashi said they only disobeyed but had no idea it was a sin. Therefore they did not commit a sin. I would say they were like babies or little children not knowing what they were doing. I know Moses was using the staff for lots of things. Thank you pointing out this one. I just don't know where the serpent statue or whatever is mentioned later when the temple existed.
