    2The woman said to the serpent, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden.'

    3'But of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.''

    4But the serpent said to the woman, 'You will surely not die.'

    5'For God knows that on the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.'

    6So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate.

    7Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

    8They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden during the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

    9But the LORD God called out to the man and said to him, 'Where are you?'

    10He said, 'I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.'

    11He said, 'Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?'

    12The man said, 'The woman you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate.'

    13Then the LORD God said to the woman, 'What is this you have done?' The woman said, 'The serpent deceived me, and I ate.'

    14So the LORD God said to the serpent, 'Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals. You will crawl on your belly and eat dust all the days of your life.'

    15'And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.'

    17To Adam He said, 'Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, "You must not eat from it," cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.'

    18It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
