1 Now athe serpent° was more° crafty° than° any° beast° of the field° which° the LORD° God° had made°. And he said° to the woman°, “Indeed°°, has God° said°, ‘You shall not eat° from Iany° tree° of the garden°’?” 2 The woman° said° to the serpent°, “aFrom the fruit° of the trees° of the garden° we may eat°; 3 but from the fruit° of the tree° which° is in the middle° of the garden°, God° has said°, ‘You shall not eat° from it or touch° it, or you will die°.’” 4 aThe serpent° said° to the woman°, “You surely° will not die°! 5 For God° knows° that in the day° you eat° from it your eyes° will be opened°, and ayou will be like God°, knowing° good° and evil°.” 6 aWhen the woman° saw° that the tree° was good° for food°, and that it was a delight° to the eyes°, and that the tree° was desirable° to make [one] wise°, she took° from its fruit° and ate°; and she gave° also° to her husband° with her, and he ate°. 7 Then the eyes° of both° of them were opened°, and they aknew° that they were naked°; and they sewed° fig° leaves° together° and made° themselves° Iloin° coverings°.

16 To the woman° He said°,
  “I will greatly° multiply°
