Genesis 3:8-13

8Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God moving about in the orchard at the breezy time of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the orchard.

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

10The man replied, “I heard you moving about in the orchard, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”

11And the Lord God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

12The man said, “The woman whom you gave me, she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it.”

13So the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman replied, “The serpent tricked me, and I ate.”
