Genesis 3:1-5



This is my translation from the Hebrew text.

Now the serpent was more crafty than any living thing of the open field that Yahweh God made. So he said to the woman, "Indeed did God say you shall not eat from any tree of the garden?" Then the woman said to the serpent, "From the fruit of trees of the garden we may eat. But from the fruit of the tree that is in the very heart of the garden, God said, 'You shall never eat from it and neither shall you ever tough it, lest you die.'" Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will never die because God knows that in the day of your eating from it your eyes will be opened, and you will become like God, knowing of good and evil."
