Genesis 3:4-12Expanded Bible (EXB)

⁴ But the snake [3:1] said to the woman, “You will [^Lmost certainly] not die. ⁵ [^LFor] God knows that if you eat ·the fruit from that tree [^Lfrom it], [^Lyour eyes will be opened and] you will ·learn about [experience; ^Lknow about] good and evil and you will be like God!”

⁶ The woman saw that the tree was ·beautiful [^Lpleasing to the eyes], that its fruit was good ·to eat [^Lfor food], and that it would make her wise. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some of the fruit to her husband who was with her [^Capparently he was present but silent while the woman spoke to the snake], and he ate it.

⁷ Then, ·it was as if their eyes [^Lthe eyes of both of them] were opened. They ·realized [knew] they were naked, so they sewed fig leaves together and made ·something to cover [^Lloincloths for] themselves [Rom. 5:12–21].

⁸ Then they heard the [^Lsound of the] Lord God walking in the garden during the cool part of the day, and the man and his wife hid from the Lord God among the trees in the garden. ⁹ But the Lord God called to the man and said, “Where are you?”

¹⁰ The man answered, “I heard ·you walking in the garden [^Lyour voice/sound], and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”

¹¹ ·God [^LHe] asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat fruit from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?”

¹² The man said, “You gave this woman to me and she gave me fruit from the tree, so I ate it.”
