Genesis 3:5 in Context — Genesis 3

3 mas do fruto da árvore que está no meio do jardim, Deus disse: Não comereis dele, nem o tocareis, para que não morrais.

4 Então a serpente disse à mulher: Não morrereis;

5 Mas Deus sabe que no dia que comerdes dele, vossos olhos serão abertos, e sereis como deuses, sabendo o bem e o mal.

6 E a mulher viu que a árvore era boa para se comer, agradável aos olhos, e árvore desejável para se obter conhecimento. E ela tomou de seu fruto, e comeu; e deu também ao seu marido com ela, e ele comeu.

7 E foram abertos os olhos de ambos, e conheceram que estavam nus. Então coseram folhas de figueira, e fizeram para si aventais.
