God, omnibenevolent or omnipotent and omniscient?

This is all just speculation on your part. Do you think God was somehow taken off guard when the fall happened? If so, why was the lamb slain before the foundation of the world?

Personally I think God is the Father of Eternity Isaiah 9:6. And like King David comparing God with the breakers of the sea, and not yet knowing about the storms on Jupiter... there is more to God than can be imagined in a day long session. Before any creation, or perhaps still alone in a root and primordial Heaven, they knew and discussed by thoughts, all options of angelic names, designs, powers and numbers... Not causing but knowing there would be a mutiny, they chose only one leader of it and aimed to minimise the damage and prepared to enter into creation and Christ and suffer with us and in our place and die and ransom us, and become victorious. God always knew of sons of God falling.

It may have been that King David, actually saw and heard Heaven to describe God.

Satan was once a holy angel, and was free of temptation except from his own thoughts, devices. They had a choice in a different ways to Adam and Eve and us today.

You can check the meaning of the name Eden. Genesis also mentions cursed land. Curses are powered by evil spirits. Childbirth was then to become painful. We have to work according to the same Genesis passage. There is disease, sourced by the work of Satan. Also war (not mentioned in Genesis), drought. Paul mentions war waged within our members, loins, eyes, stomach... appetites swelling beyond the human spirit. The need to be born again is here, and unlike Adam, we are not Spirit filled at conception. John the Baptist an exception.

John the apostle says God loves all sinners. Their temptation and the accusations against them, well God doesn't want them to fall. God does not wish the death of a sinner.
