2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the afruit 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 atouch it, lest you die.’ ”
4 aThen 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 asaw that the tree was good for food, that it was1 pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit band ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, aand they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves1 coverings.
8 And they heard athe sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the2 cool of the day, and Adam and his wife bhid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
