Genesis 3:1 In-Context

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other {wild animal} which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God indeed say, 'You shall not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
2 The woman said to the serpent, "From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
3 but from the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God said, 'You shall not eat from it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die'."
4 But the serpent said to the woman, "You shall not surely die.
5 For God knows that on the day you [both] eat from it, then your eyes will be opened and you [both] shall be like gods, knowing good and evil."
