Frankly narby, yes, there is one correct interpretation. Let's start with what should be two relatively easy "correct interpretations":
-- What's the correct interpretation of the correlation between man's acquisition of the knowledge of good and evil and the consequence of death?
-- What's the correct interpretation of the word "death" in connection therewith (e.g., complete spiritual death; a spiritual death capable of remediation; immediate physical death; delayed physical death; the death (spiritual and/or physical) of man alone; the physical death (immediate or delayed) of man-plus-certain-selected-biological-life-forms (with which life forms included and excluded?); the physical death (immediate or delayed) of man-plus-all-biological-life-forms; etc., etc.)

As soon as I spend a week studying exactly what your second question says...I'll get back to you.

What's the correct interpretation of the word "death" You have a soul and it's eternal.

Your question as stated is confusing.

Dear atlaw,
Death is simply a separation. It can be a separation of the soul from the physical body (which is what most are referring to when the word 'death' is used) or it can be the separation (death) of a friendship, relationship, marriage (divorce. If you've ever lost a loved one and gotten a divorce you know what I'm talking about.), etc.
I know this over simplifies the eggheaded jargon you're trying to use to dazzle those of us you believe to stupid to understand your BS way to much to satisfy your desire that someone take your bait and run with all of your hypotheticals but death is nothing more than a "separation." A "Spiritual" death (which many of you atheist might think you'll love) is nothing more than an eternal separation of your eternal soul from God; without whom there is no life.
Now the question you must settle in your heart is, "Do souls and spirits really exist?"
If you don't think they do then enjoy wallowing in the mire. ;)

First, the correct correlation between man's acquisition of the knowledge of good and evil and the consequence of death is that Adam and Eve
disobeyed God. Second, death refers to both spiritual and physical death.
Adam died in two senses.
One, spiritually (hence his hiding from God).
Two, physically, hundreds of years later.
Thus, a man after he is born, must yet be born again to spend eternity with God (Jn.3:3), since he is born spiritually dead (Rom.5) 'Born once, die twice' 'born twice, die once'
