And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die; For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food... and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from where he was taken.
