And he said to the woman, &ldquo;Has God really said, &lsquo;You shall not eat from any tree of the garden&rsquo;?&rdquo; The woman said to the serpent, &ldquo;From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, &lsquo;You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.&rsquo;&rdquo; The serpent said to the woman, &ldquo;You certainly will not die!
