Genesis 3:8-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. And when they had heard the voice of the Lord God taking a walk in Paradise in the afternoon breeze, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God in the midst of the trees of Paradise.

9. And the Lord God called Adam and said to him: "Where are you?"

10. And he said, "I heard your voice in Paradise, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and so I hid myself."

11. He said to him, "Then who told you that you were naked, if you have not eaten of the tree from which I instructed you that you should not eat?"

12. And Adam said, "The woman, whom you gave to me as a companion, gave to me from the tree, and I ate."
