commentary on Genesis 3:4
Having won the first round with Eve he is now in a position to deliver his knock-out blow. Hitherto the serpent had manifested what might be called a religious interest in the welfare of the woman. Now he changes his tactic. Now he is ready to engage in a direct denial of the truthfulness of what God has said. ***He gives to his lie all that he has***, employing a forceful manner of expressing it. We may paraphrase, "It is not true that ye shall surely die".
