I don't understand the question. The OT is no more than the mythology of a minor tribe of bronze age goat herders.The Torah was not even written down until ca seventh century bce.. I can't see that different versions make any material difference ALL are copies--of-copies- of- copies going back centuries.

The oldest copy of the OT still extant dates from 900 CE;the result of over 1000 years of repeated copying, by hand.

Yes and was derived from the Egyptian book of the dead and Gilgamesh before that.

The question is asking if we should give more credence to the Jewish interpretations or the later Christian one.
I E. Eden was our elevation of humanity to the Jews. Or if we should take the opposite Christian view and see our fall.
