The woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You can’t eat from any tree in the garden’? ”

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.

He said to the woman: I will intensify your labor pains; you will bear children with painful effort.  Your desire  will be for your husband, yet he will rule over you.

You will eat bread  by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground,  since you were taken from it. For you are dust, and you will return to dust.”

And he said to the man, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘Do not eat from it’: The ground is cursed because of you.  You will eat from it by means of painful labor  all the days of your life.

Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from? ”

He drove the man out and stationed the cherubim and the flaming, whirling sword east of the garden of Eden to guard the way to the tree of life.

The man named his wife Eve  because she was the mother of all the living.
