Genesis 3:6-12

New Catholic Bible

⁶ The woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to look at and desirable for imparting wisdom. She took some fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband who was with her, and he also ate it. ⁷ Their eyes were opened and they realized that they were naked. They took fig leaves and sewed them together, making themselves a covering.

⁸ They then heard the Lord God walking in the garden toward the evening. The man and his wife hid themselves from the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. ⁹ But the Lord God called out to the man and said to him, “Where were you?”

¹⁰ He answered, “I heard you walking in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.”

¹¹ He said, “Who let you know that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?”

¹² The man answered, “The woman whom you put here with me, she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it.”
