Genesis 3:8–15
8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze,O and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.a 9 So the Lord God called out to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 And he said, “I heard youA in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”
11 Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 The man replied,b “The woman you gave to be with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate.”
13 So the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done?”
And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”c
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:
Because you have done this,
you are cursed more than any livestock
and more than any wild animal.
You will move on your belly
and eat dust all the days of your life.d
15 I will put hostility between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring.*
He will strike your head,
and you will strike his heel.e
