Genesis 3:1-5

1Now 1the serpentH5175 was moreH4480 craftyH6175 thanH4480 anyH3605 beastH2421 of the fieldH7704 whichH834 the LordH3068 GodH430 had madeH6213. And he saidH559 to the womanH802, “IndeedH637H3588, has GodH430 saidH559, ‘You shall not eatH398 from 2anyH3605 treeH6086 of the gardenH1588’?”

2The womanH802 saidH559 to the serpentH5175, “3From the fruitH6529 of the treesH6086 of the gardenH1588 we may eatH398;

3but from the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086 whichH834 is in the middleH8432 of the gardenH1588, GodH430 has saidH559, ‘You shall not eatH398 from it or touchH5060 it, or you will dieH4191.’”

44The serpentH5175 saidH559 to the womanH802, “You surelyH4191 will not dieH4191!

5For GodH430 knowsH3045 that in the dayH3117 you eatH398 from it your eyesH5869 will be openedH6491, and 5you will be like GodH430, knowingH3045 goodH2896 and evilH7451.”
