Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”Then the man replied,“ The woman You gave to be with me— she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate.”So the Lord God asked the woman,“ What is this you have done?” And the woman said,“ It was the serpent. He deceived me, and I ate.”
