And the Lord God commanded the man, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden,
-
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.”

The First Sin and Its Punishment
Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
-
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden,
-
but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, nor shall you touch it, or you shall die.’ ”
-
for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
-
He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
-
The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you among all animals and among all wild creatures; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.
-
And to the man he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
-
thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.
-
By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
-
Then the Lord God said, “See, the humans have become like one of us, knowing good and evil, and now they might reach out their hands and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever”—
-
Also take with you every kind of food that is eaten, and store it up, and it shall serve as food for you and for them.”
-
Only, you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
-
I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten and the share of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their share.”
-
Then food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my errand.” He said, “Speak on.”
-
Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stuff, for I am famished!” (Therefore he was called Edom.)
-
Then prepare for me savory food, such as I like, and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.”
-
‘Bring me game, and prepare for me savory food to eat, that I may bless you before the Lord before I die.’
-
and you shall take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
-
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done as you told me; now sit up and eat of my game, so that you may bless me.”
-
Then he said, “Bring it to me, that I may eat of my son’s game and bless you.” So he brought it to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.
-
He also prepared savory food and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, “Let my father sit up and eat of his son’s game, so that you may bless me.”
-
Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,
-
These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and I have not eaten the rams of your flocks.
