1 And the serpent has been cunning above every beast of the field which YHWH God has made, and he says to the woman, “Is it true that God has said, You do not eat from every tree of the garden?”

2 And the woman says to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we eat,

3 but from the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God has said, You do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest you die.”

4 And the serpent says to the woman, “Dying, you do not die,

5 for God knows that in the day of your eating of it—your eyes have been opened, and you have been as God, knowing good and evil.”

6 And the woman sees that the tree [is] good for food, and that it [is] pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make [one] wise, and she takes from its fruit and eats, and also gives [some] to her husband with her, and he eats;

7 and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they [are] naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make girdles for themselves.
