Now the serpent was the most crafty of all the brutes on the earth, which the Lord God made, and the serpent said to the woman, Wherefore has God said, Eat not ofevery tree of the garden? And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes to look upon and beautiful to contemplate, and having taken of its fruit she ate, and she gave to her husband also with her, and they ate. And the eyes of both were opened and they perceived that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons to go round them. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the afternoon; and both Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God in the midst of the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called Adam and said to him, Adam, where art thou? him, I heard thy voice as thou walkedst in the garden walking. and I feared because I was naked and I hid myself. 11 And God said to him, Who told thee that thou 'wast naked, unless thou hast + Gr. art. eaten of the tree concerning which I charged thee of it alone not to eat? 12 And Adam said, the woman whom thou gavest to be with me-she gave me of the tree and I ate.
