Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

The Fall
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
-
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,
-
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.
-
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
-
The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
-
Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
-
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
-
To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house.

Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door.

One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth.
-
The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.”
-
So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
-
The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today.

But God came to Abimelek in a dream one night and said to him, “You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman.”
-
and she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.”
-
But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.
-
The servant asked him, “What if the woman is unwilling to come back with me to this land? Shall I then take your son back to the country you came from?”
