Genesis 3:8-15

8Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

9So the Lord God called out to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”

10And he said, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”

11Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

12The man replied, “The woman you gave to be with me — she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate.”

13So the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14So the Lord God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you are cursed more than any livestock and more than any wild animal. You will move on your belly and eat dust all the days of your life.

15I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.
