Genesis 3:1-11
1Now 1the serpent was more cunning than any animal of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” 2The woman said to the serpent, “2From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; 3but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’” 43The serpent said to the woman, “You certainly will not die! 5For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and 4you will 5become like God, knowing good and evil.” 66When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate. 7Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they 7knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves waist coverings.
8Now they heard the sound of 8the Lord God walking in the garden in the 9cool of the day, 10and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “11Where are you?” 10He said, “12I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.” 11And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?”
