Genesis 3:1-6

1Now 1the serpentH5175 was moreH4480 cunningH6175 thanH4480 anyH3605 animalH2421 of the fieldH7704 whichH834 the LordH3068 GodH430 had madeH6213. And he saidH559 to the womanH802, “Has GodH430 reallyH637H3588 saidH559, ‘You shall not eatH398 from anyH3605 treeH6086 of the gardenH1588’?”

2The womanH802 saidH559 to the serpentH5175, “2From 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.’”

43The serpentH5175 saidH559 to the womanH802, “You certainlyH4191 will not dieH4191!

5For GodH430 knowsH3045 that on the dayH3117 you eatH398 from it your eyesH5869 will be openedH6491, and 4you will 5becomeH1961 like GodH430, knowingH3045 goodH2896 and evilH7451.”

66When the womanH802 sawH7200 that the treeH6086 was goodH2896 for foodH3978, and that it was a delightH8378 to the eyesH5869, and that the treeH6086 was desirableH2530 to makeH7919 one wiseH7919, she tookH3947 someH4480 of its fruitH6529 and ateH398; and she alsoH1571 gaveH5414 some to her husbandH376 with her, and he ateH398.
