Genesis 3:1-5 ▼

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God {YHWH Elohim} had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You⁺ must not eat from any tree in the garden?’”

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

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

4 “You⁺ will not surely die,” the serpent told the woman.

5 “For God {Elohim} knows that in the day you⁺ eat of it, your⁺ eyes will be opened and you⁺ will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
