The woman stared at the fruit. It looked beautiful and tasty. She wanted the wisdom that it would give her, and she ate some of the fruit. Her husband was there with her, so she gave some to him, and he ate it too.

The snake was more cunning than any of the other wild animals that the LORD God had made. One day it came to the woman and asked, “Did God tell you not to eat fruit from any tree in the garden?”

You and this woman will hate each other; your descendants and hers will always be enemies. One of hers will strike you on the head, and you will strike him on the heel.”

Then the LORD said to the woman, “You will suffer terribly when you give birth. But you will still desire your husband, and he will rule over you.”

You will have to sweat to earn a living; you were made out of soil, and you will once again turn into soil.”

The LORD said to the man, “You listened to your wife and ate fruit from that tree. And so, the ground will be under a curse because of what you did. As long as you live, you will have to struggle to grow enough food.

“How did you know you were naked?” God asked. “Did you eat any fruit from that tree in the middle of the garden?”

Then God put winged creatures at the entrance to the garden and a flaming, flashing sword to guard the way to the life-giving tree.

The man Adam named his wife Eve because she would become the mother of all who live.
