tree of the knowledge of good and evil - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Tree of the knowledge of good and evil
  stood in the midst of the garden of Eden, beside the tree of
  life (Gen. 2, 3). Adam and Eve were forbidden to take of the
  fruit which grew upon it. But they disobeyed the divine
  injunction, and so sin and death by sin entered our world and
  became the heritage of Adam's posterity. (See ADAM.)
