Genesis 3:1-7
1Now the serpentH51751 wasH1961 more craftyH6175 than anyH3605 beastH2416 of the fieldH7704 thatH834 the LORDH3068 GodH430 had madeH6213. And he saidH559 toH413 the womanH802, “Did GodH430 reallyH3588H637 sayH559, ‘You must notH3808 eatH398 from anyH3605 treeH6086 in the gardenH1588?’”
2The womanH802 answeredH559H413 the serpentH5175, “We may eatH398 the fruitH6529 of the treesH6086 of the gardenH1588, 3but about the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086 in the middleH8432 of the gardenH1588, GodH430 has saidH559, ‘You must notH3808 eatH398 of itH4480 or touchH5060 it, or you will dieH4191.’”
4“You will notH3808 surely dieH4191,” the serpentH5175 toldH559H413 the womanH802. 5“ForH3588 GodH430 knowsH3045 thatH3588 in the dayH3117 you eatH398 of itH4480, your eyesH5869 will beH1961 openedH6491 and you will be like GodH430, knowingH3045 goodH2896 and evilH7451.”
6When the womanH802 sawH7200 thatH3588 the treeH6086 was goodH2896 for foodH3978 andH3588 pleasingH8378 to the eyesH5869, and that it was desirableH2530 for obtaining wisdomH7919, she tookH3947 the fruitH6529 and ate itH398. She also gaveH5414H1571 some to her husbandH376 who was with herH5973, and he ate itH398.
7And the eyesH5869 of both of themH8147 were openedH6491, and theyH1992 knewH3045 thatH3588 they were nakedH5903; so they sewed togetherH8609 figH8384 leavesH5929 and madeH6213 coveringsH2290 for themselves.
