Gen 3:22 – Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like
one of Us, knowing good and evil. And now, lest he reach out his
hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live
forever…” See also Gen 2:17, 3:5.

God expelled humans from Garden of Eden, because they learned good and evil. But then petty soon He requires Kaine to do good. And thereafter, God teaches Israelis to do good and abstain from evil, gives commandments.

Why did not He want Adam to know good from evil?

It appears, God’s intent here is opposite of His intent in the rest of Torah.

Is it possible that there is real inconsistency here?
