But the serpent was the most shrewd of all the wild beasts, of the ones whom the lord Theos made upon the earth. And the serpent said to the wife: "Wherefore said the Theos: No way should you eat from all the trees of the paradise?".
And the woman said: "From fruit of the wood of the paradise we shall eat,
but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the paradise, the Theos said: Eat not from it, nor touch it, that you should not die."
And the serpent said to the wife: "Not to death will you die,
for the Theos knows that in whatever day you should eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be as gods, knowing good and evil."
And the woman saw that the tree is good for food, and pleasing to the eyes to behold, and beautiful for contemplating. And having taken of the fruit of it, she ate, and she also gave [to] her husband with her, and they ate.
And the eyes of the two were opened, and they came to know that they were naked. And they sewed leaves of a fig-tree, and made themselves loincloths.
And walking in the paradise at dusk, they heard the voice of the lord Theos. And both Adam and his woman hid in the midst of the wood of the paradise away from [the] face of the lord Theos.
And the Theos called Adam, and said to him: "Adam, where are you?"
And he said to him: "I, walking in the paradise, heard your voice, and I feared, for I am naked, and I hid."
And the Theos said to him: "Who declared to you that you are naked, unless you ate from the tree of which I have instructed you 'This alone not to eat form it'?"
And Adam said: "The woman with me whom you gave, she gave to me from the tree, and I ate."
And the Lord Theos said to the wife: "What [is] this you did?" And the woman said: "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
And the Lord Theos said to the serpent: "Because you did this, you [are] accursed from all the cattle, and from all the wild beasts of the [ones] upon the earth. Upon your breast and belly, you shall go, and you shall eat earth all the days of your life.
And I will put enmity between you and between the wife, and between your seed and between her seed. She shall observe your head, and you shall observe her heel."
And to the wife, he said: "In multiplying, I will multiply your griefs and your groanings. In griefs you will bear children, and [be] towards your submission to your husband, and he will rule over you."
And [to] Adam, he said: "Because you hearkened to the voice of your wife, and ate from the tree of which I have instructed to you, [saying] 'This alone not to eat from it', accursed is the soil in your works. In griefs you will eat it, all the days of your life.
Thorn-bushes and thistles will rise to you, and you will eat the grass of the field.
In [the] sweat of your face you will eat your bread, until the returning [of] you into the earth from out of which you were taken. For earth you are, and unto earth you will return."
And Adam called the name of his wife 'Life', for she was [the] mother of all the living.
And the lord Theos made [to] Adam and his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.
And the Theos said: "Behold, Adam has become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest at any time he might stretch out the hand, and should take from the tree of life, and should eat, and will live into the aeon."
And the lord Theos send him away from out of the paradise of indulgence, to work the earth from which he was taken.
And he cast out Adam, and settled him opposite to the paradise of indulgence, and ordered the cheroubim and the flaming, turning broadsword to guard the way of the tree of life.
