The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden,

…but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’”

“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.”

“Who told you that you were naked?” asked the LORD God. “Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”

He too made some tasty food, brought it to his father, and said to him, “My father, sit up and eat of your son’s game, so that you may bless me.”
