Ets in the Hebrew is "tree" and means a tree; wood; [actual] timber.
Atseh in the Hebrew is "tree" and means the spine; as giving firmness to the body; back bone.
Ets is an actual tree & Atseh is a symbolic tree representing a man. The Tree of Life & The Tree of Death
Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 3:1-3 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, "Yea, hath God said, 'Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" And the woman said unto the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, 'Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.'"
The red highlighted "trees" in the passages above are the Hebrew word ets and are referring to actual fruit tress. God does not have anything against any of the trees He has created for us (or them) that bare actual fruit for us to consume. In contrast, the bolded "trees" in the passages above are the Hebrew word atseh and are referring to actual beings (in these instances Christ=Life; Satan=Death). Satan goes by many names and here, the "serpent", is but just one. Satan could take on any form he so chose as he is a supernatural being, so it is not a far stretch to imagine the beautiful and awe inspiring form he presented himself as to Eve. To partake of Satan is to partake of death because to believe his lies and follow him is to go down the path to a final death, the death of the soul.
