What did the serpent say to the woman?

"said serpent to woman not surely die".  All the seven words are simple ones.

Genesis 2:17 says the same word rendered "surely" but the verb form for "die" is different.

"day eat at surely die"

The serpent reversed what God had said.  surely die - not surely die  

The word used for "die" is interesting.  I am not proficient but I trust (as much as I am able) Strong's word accomplished.

What God said "die" carried the meaning of "expectation".  How do I conclude?  I look at all the other scriptures that use the same FORM of the word and get the sense of it.

What the serpent said "die" carries the meaning of "fear".  So serpent was saying "you will not fear to die" which is true, isn't it?

God said "you will expect to die", which is true too.  Which means for those in one dimension you will surely die, but it will become expected.

Humans are a race that expect to die but only some have adopted the fear of death.
