⁸ The Lord God planted a ^(A)garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed. ⁹ Out of the ground the Lord God caused ^(B)every tree to grow that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; ^(C)the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

¹⁶ The Lord God ^(A)commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may freely eat; ¹⁷ but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not ^[a]eat, for on the day that you eat from it ^(B)you will certainly die.”

^6 (A)When 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 some of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate. ⁷ Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they ^(B)knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves waist coverings.
