And the eyes of them both were opened: and when they perceived themselves to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves, and made themselves aprons.

And when they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in paradise at the afternoon air, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God, amidst the trees of paradise.

And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou?

10 And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.

11 And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat?

12 And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.

14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked;(A) so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.(B)

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking(C) in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid(D) from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”(E)

10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid(F) because I was naked;(G) so I hid.”

11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked?(H) Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?(I)

12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me(J)—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me,(K) and I ate.”

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

“Cursed(L) are you above all livestock
    and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
    and you will eat dust(M)
    all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring[a](N) and hers;(O)
he will crush[b] your head,(P)
    and you will strike his heel.”
