GENESIS 3

\n

The Fall

\n

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the\xa0Lord\xa0God had made. He said to the woman, \u201cDid God really say, \u2018You must not eat from any tree in the garden\u2019?\u201d

\n

2 The woman said to the serpent, \u201cWe may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,\xa03 but God did say, \u2018You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.\u2019\u2006\u201d 4\u201cYou will not certainly die,\u201d the serpent said to the woman.\xa0

\n

5\u201cFor God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.\u201d 6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.\xa07 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the\xa0Lord\xa0God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the\xa0Lord\xa0God among the trees of the garden.\xa0

\n

9 But the\xa0Lord\xa0God called to the man, \u201cWhere are you?\u201d 10 He answered, \u201cI heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.\u201d 11 And he said, \u201cWho told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?\u201d 12 The man said, \u201cThe woman you put here with me\u2014she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.\u201d

\n

13 Then the\xa0Lord\xa0God said to the woman, \u201cWhat is this you have done?\u201d The woman said, \u201cThe serpent deceived me, and I ate.\u201d
