Genesis 2:17
There was one exception to Adam being able to eat from all of the trees of the garden. He and Eve were specifically forbiden to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. There was probably nothing special about the fruit of this tree that would bring death other than that eating from it would be disobeying God. God was not being cruel but rather was giving man a test, and he was even making it as simple as possible. It was one tree among many and the command was extremely simple. The reason for the test was God did not create robots but wanted man to obey Him of his own free will.
