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.
9 Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, aand I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”
12 Then the man said, a“The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, a“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
