6 The woman approached the tree, eyed its fruit, and coveted its mouth-watering, wisdom-granting beauty. She plucked a fruit from the tree and ate. She then offered the fruit to her husband who was close by, and he ate as well. 7 Suddenly their eyes were opened to a reality previously unknown. For the first time, they sensed their vulnerability and rushed to hide their naked bodies, stitching fig leaves into crude loincloths.

New International Version
5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,(A) knowing good and evil.”
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable(B) for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband,(C) who was with her, and he ate it.(D) 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked;(E) so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.(F)
