Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You can’t eat from any tree in the garden’? ”
“But about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God said, ‘You must not eat it or touch it, or you will die.’ ”
The woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from? ”
The man replied, “The woman you gave to be with me — she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate.”
So the LORD God asked the woman, “What have you done? ”
And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
So the LORD God said to the serpent:
Because you have done this,
you are cursed more than any livestock
and more than any wild animal.
You will move on your belly
and eat dust all the days of your life.
He said to the woman:
I will intensify your labor pains;
you will bear children with painful effort.
Your desire will be for your husband,
yet he will rule over you.
The LORD God made clothing from skins for the man and his wife, and he clothed them.
The LORD God said, “Since the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil, he must not reach out, take from the tree of life, eat, and live forever.”
So the LORD God sent him away from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken.
