Now
the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had
made. And he said to the woman, “Has God
indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
2
And the woman said to the serpent.
“We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;
3 “But
of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said,
“You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’”
4 Then
the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.
5 “For
God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will
be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 So
when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the
eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she look of its fruit and
ate. She also gave to her husband with
her, and be ate.
7 Then
the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and
they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
8 And
they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the
day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God
among the trees of the garden.
