Genesis 3:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 God knows well that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, who know[a] good and evil.” 6 The woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and the tree was desirable for gaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.(A) 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.
