Genesis Chapter 3

Now the serpent is smarter than any other wild animal that God created . The serpent questioned Eve about what God had told them about the Garden of Eden.  Eve told the serpent that they could eat from any tree except the tree of knowledge and they couldn't touch it either, because if they did they would Surely die.


The serpent told Eve ,she would not die that God new if they eat from the tree of knowledge  their eyes would be opened.  And they would know good and evil. So  Eve had doubts.


So she ate the fruit from the tree and saw it was good for food and had opened her eyes, so she took the fruit from the tree of knowledge to Adam and he ate.


Now Adam's and Eve's eyes were opened and they saw they were naked. So they found fig leaves and sewed them together to cover their selves.  God came to the Garden of Eden calling for  Adam and Eve, But they were hiding from God because of their nakedness. When Adam finally answered God , he ask why were you hiding from me? And Adam said because we are naked. God said who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree I commanded you not to eat from?  Adam said, Eve gave me the fruit.  Eve said, the serpent deceived me and I ate from the tree of knowledge.


God said to the serpent you are cursed to crawl on your belly and eat the dust of the earth and I put enmity between you and Eve and her offspring and you, because you have done this.


Now God said,  Eve I will increase the pain during childbirth and Adam will rule over you.  And as for Adam,  cursed is the ground because you ate listening to Eve. You will have to work the land to provide food for you and Eve and generations after you. And since you were made of the dust of the earth you shall return to the ground.


God made garments for Adam and Eve to were out of skin. Now God banished them from the Garden of Eden because he did want them  eat from the tree of life and live forever.


God also placed a cherub and a flaming sword on the east side of the Garden of Eden to guard the tree of life.
