Genesis 3:8-15

8And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool [afternoon breeze] of the day, so the man and his wife hid and kept themselves hidden from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

9But the Lord God called to Adam, and said to him, “Where are you?”

10He said, “I heard the sound of You [walking] in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.”

11God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten [fruit] from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”

12And the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me—she gave me [fruit] from the tree, and I ate it.”

13Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent beguiled and deceived me, and I ate [from the forbidden tree].”

14The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all the cattle, And more than any animal of the field; On your belly you shall go, And dust you shall eat All the days of your life.

15And I will put enmity (open hostility) Between you and the woman, And between your seed (offspring) and her Seed; He shall [fatally] bruise your head, And you shall [only] bruise His heel.”
