The Story of the Fall

Genesis 3:1–5 WEB

¹Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?” ²The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden, ³but not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it. You shall not touch it, lest you die.’” ⁴The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die, ⁵for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
