Genesis 2:16-17

16 ADONAI, God, gave the person this order: "You may freely eat from every tree in the garden

Genesis 3:1-3

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any wild animal which ADONAI, God, had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You are not to eat from any tree in the garden'?"
2 The woman answered the serpent, "We may eat from the fruit of the trees of the garden,
3 but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, 'You are neither to eat from it nor touch it, or you will die.'"
