    1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, 'Did God really say, you shall not eat from any tree in the garden?'

    2 The 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.''

    4 But 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.'

    6 So 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.

    7 Then 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.

    8 They 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.

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

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

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

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

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