"The serpent was the most cunning of all the wild beasts made by the Lord God. He said to the woman: "Is it true that God said: You must not eat from any tree of the garden?". The woman replied to the serpent: "We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden: You must not eat it and you must not touch it, otherwise you will die." But the serpent said to the woman: "You will not die at all! In fact, God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will become like God, knowing good and evil." (Genesis)"
