And he said, "I heard the sound of thee in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."
He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"
The man said, "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate."
Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent beguiled me, and I ate."
The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."
The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
