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.’”

When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.

And the man answered, “The woman whom You gave me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

So in the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruit of the soil as an offering to the LORD,

When you enter the land and plant any kind of tree for food, you shall regard the fruit as forbidden. For three years it will be forbidden to you and must not be eaten.

In the fourth year all its fruit must be consecrated as a praise offering to the LORD.

When you lay siege to a city for an extended time while fighting against it to capture it, you must not destroy its trees by putting an axe to them, because you can eat their fruit. You must not cut them down. Are the trees of the field human, that you should besiege them?

But you may destroy the trees that you know do not produce fruit. Use them to build siege works against the city that is waging war against you, until it falls.

But the fig tree replied, ‘Should I stop giving my sweetness and my good fruit, to hold sway over the trees?’

“Why do you have these?” asked the king. Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”

He gave their crops to the grasshopper, the fruit of their labor to the locust.

He waters the mountains from His chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of His works.

He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,

Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.

For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.

I said, “I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit.” May your breasts be like clusters of the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples,

Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased it to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver.

He dug it up and cleared the stones and planted the finest vines. He built a watchtower in the middle and dug out a winepress as well. He waited for the vineyard to yield good grapes, but the fruit it produced was sour!

So you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Will it flourish? Will it not be uprooted and stripped of its fruit so that it shrivels? All its foliage will wither! It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it up by its roots.

But it was uprooted in fury, cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were stripped off and they withered; the fire consumed them.
