6. The woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good to eat. It was also pleasing to look at. And it would make a person wise. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her. And he ate it.
7. Then both of them knew things they had never known before. They realized they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together and made clothes for themselves.
8. Then the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking in the garden. It was the coolest time of the day. They hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9. But the Lord God called out to the man. "Where are you?" he asked.
10. "I heard you in the garden," the man answered. "I was afraid. I was naked, so I hid."
11. The Lord God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten the fruit of the tree I commanded you not to eat?"
12. The man said, "It was the woman you put here with me. She gave me some fruit from the tree. And I ate it."
13. Then the Lord God said to the woman, "What have you done?" The woman said, "The serpent tricked me. That's why I ate the fruit."
14. So the Lord God spoke to the serpent. He said, "Because you have done this, "I am putting a curse on you. You are cursed more than all of the livestock and all of the wild animals. You will crawl on the ground. You will eat dust all of the days of your life.
