Genesis 3:8 in Context — Genesis 3

6 La femme vit que l’arbre était bon à manger et agréable à la vue, et qu’il était précieux pour ouvrir l’intelligence; elle prit de son fruit, et en mangea; elle en donna aussi à son mari, qui était auprès d’elle, et il en mangea.

7 Les yeux de l’un et de l’autre s’ouvrirent, ils connurent qu’ils étaient nus, et ayant cousu des feuilles de figuier, ils s’en firent des ceintures.

8 Alors ils entendirent la voix de l’Éternel Dieu, qui parcourait le jardin vers le soir, et l’homme et sa femme se cachèrent loin de la face de l’Éternel Dieu, au milieu des arbres du jardin.

9 Mais l’Éternel Dieu appela l’homme, et lui dit: Où es-tu?

10 Il répondit: J’ai entendu ta voix dans le jardin, et j’ai eu peur, parce que je suis nu, et je me suis caché.
