And he said to the woman, Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?The woman said to the serpent, From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.'
