I never thought of this...
If they think they have to do something with the tree BEFORE Shabbos, that means they are "under the gun" because they only have a few hours to decide what to do, and then the opportunity would be lost forever. Should they do, or should the not do? G-d said "don't" but when you do, you'll die. But does that mean they would "die" on Shabbos? If so, then what does it mean to "die?" And if we are supposed to "die" then is death something that can be in a good way or a bad way?

Also, what tradition? There was no one else. Unless "seeing from one end of the world to the other" means seeing forward in time as well as looking back. But that only makes it more difficult to understand, because that would mean they saw what the consequences of their "sin" would be, and they still decided to do it.
