Genesis 3
1. Now the serpent was cunning beyond any beast of the field that Hashem God had made. He said to the woman, "Did, perhaps, God say: 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?"
2. The woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of any tree of the garden we may eat.
3. Of the fruit of the tree which is in the center of the garden God has said: 'You shall neither eat of it nor touch it, lest you die.'4. The serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die5. for God knows that on the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad.6. And the woman perceived that the tree was good for eating and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable as a means to wisdom, and she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her and he ate.
7. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realized they were naked; and they sewed together a fig leaf and made themselves aprons.
8. They heard the sound of Hashem God manifesting itslf in the garden toward evening; and the man and his wife hid from Hashem God among the trees of the garden.
9. Hashem God called out to the man and said to him, "Where are you?10. He said, I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I am naked, so I hid.
11. And He said, "Who told you that you are naked?" Have you eaten of the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?"

12. The man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me—she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
13. And Hashem God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done!" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
14. And Hashem God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, accursed are you beyond all the cattle and beyond all beasts of the field; upon your belly shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life.
15. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He w ill pound your head, and you will bite his heel.
17. To Adam He said, "Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate of the tree about which I commanded you saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' accursed is the ground because of you; through suffering shall you eat of it all the days of your life.
18. Thorns and thistles shall it sprout for you, and you shall eat the herb of the field.
19. By the sweat of your brow shall you eat bread until you return to the ground, from which you were taken: For you are dust, and to dust shall you return."
20 The man called his wife's name Eve, because she had become the mother of all the living.
21 And Hashem God made for Adam and his wife garments of skin, and He clothed them.
