Forbidden Fruit Pages: 18-21 

__**Summary:**__ In the story, The Forbidden Fruit, the woman was deceived by a serpent. The serpent told her that if she was to eat from the tree of Good and Evil she would know both good and evil as God does. She ate the fruit, she also gave some to her husband, and he ate the fruit. After eating the fruit they knew they were naked so they stitched fig-leaves together. After God found out what the husband and wife has done,

God said to the serpent:

"Because you have done this you are cursed alone of all cattle and the creatures of the wild.

On your belly you will crawl

And dust you will eat

All the days of your life

I shall put enmity between you and the women,

Between your brood and hers,

They will strike at your head,

And you will strike at their heel."

To the women he said:

"I shall give you great labor in childbearing;

With labor you will bear children.

You will desire your husband,

But he will be your master."

And to the man he said:

"Because you have listened to your wife and have eaten the from the tree which I forbade you,

On your account the earth will be cursed.

You will get your food from it only by labor

All the days of your life;

It will yield thorns and thistle for you.

You will eat of the produce of the field,

And only by the sweat of your brow will you win

Your bread

Until you return to the earth;

For from it you were taken

Dust you are, to dust you will return."

The man then named his wife Eve. The lord made covering for the man and his wife. The lord then banished them from the garden of Eden. He then sent his Cherubim and a sword whirling and flashing to guard the way to the tree of life.
