2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;

4 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye will not certainly die;
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 but God knows that in the day ye eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, knowing good and evil.
for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 and thorns and thistles shall it yield thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust thou art; and unto dust shalt thou return.
