Genesis 3:1-11 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

1. But the serpent was shrewder than any animal of the field that Adonai Elohim made. So it said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from all the trees of the garden’?”

2. The woman said to the serpent, “Of the fruit of the trees, we may eat.

3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God said, ‘You must not eat of it and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

4. The serpent said to the woman, “You most assuredly won’t die!

5. For God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6. Now the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a thing of lust for the eyes, and that the tree was desirable for imparting wisdom. So she took of its fruit and she ate. She also gave to her husband who was with her and he ate.

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

8. And they heard the sound of Adonai Elohim going to and fro in the garden in the wind of the day. So the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Adonai Elohim in the midst of the Tree of the garden.

9. Then Adonai Elohim called to the man and He said to him, “Where are you?”

10. Then he said, “Your sound—I heard it in the garden and I was afraid. Because I am naked, I hid myself.”

11. Then He said, “Who told you that you are naked? Have you eaten from the Tree from which I commanded you not to eat?”
