Genesis 3:2-11

The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees in
the garden; but God said, "You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that
is in the middle of the garden, nor shall you touch it, or you shall
die.'"  But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die; for God
knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be
like God, knowing good and evil."  So when the woman saw that the tree was
good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree
was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she
also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate.  Then the
eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they
sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.

They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden at the time of
the evening breeze, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the
presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.  But the LORD God
called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"  He said, "I heard
the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and
I hid myself."  He said, "Who told you that you were naked?  Have you
eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"
