^{1 Ref} Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden?

^{2 Ref} And the woman said, We may take of the fruit of the trees in the garden:

^{3 Ref} But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you.

^{4 Ref} And the snake said, Death will not certainly come to you:

^{5 Ref} For God sees that on the day when you take of its fruit, your eyes will be open, and you will be as gods, having knowledge of good and evil.

^{6 Ref} And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband.

^{7 Ref} And their eyes were open and they were conscious that they had no clothing and they made themselves coats of leaves stitched together.

^{8 Ref} And there came to them the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening wind: and the man and his wife went to a secret place among the trees of the garden, away from the eyes of the Lord God.

^{9 Ref} And the voice of the Lord God came to the man, saying, Where are you?

^{10 Ref} And he said, Hearing your voice in the garden I was full of fear, because I was without clothing: and I kept myself from your eyes.

^{11 Ref} And he said, Who gave you the knowledge that you were without clothing? Have you taken of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take?

^{12 Ref} And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I took it.

^{13 Ref} And the Lord God said to the woman, What have you done? And the woman said, I was tricked by the deceit of the snake and I took it.
