Where can I flee to escape your presence? 8 If I were to ascend to heaven, you would be there.

    1The Temptation and the Fall Now the serpent was more shrewd than any of the wild animals that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman,“Is it really true that God said,‘You must not eat from any tree of the orchard’?”

    2The woman said to the serpent,“We may eat of the fruit from the trees of the orchard;

    3but concerning the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the orchard God said,‘You must not eat from it, and you must not touch it, or else you will die.’”

    4The serpent said to the woman,“Surely you will not die,

    5for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will open and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

    6When the woman saw that the tree produced fruit that was good for food, was attractive to the eye, and was desirable for making one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some of it to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.

    7Then the eyes of both of them opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
