gave me fruit from the tree, so I ate it.“ The LORD God then asked the woman, "Why did you do such a thing?" The woman answered, "The serpent tricked me into it, so I ate it.“ Then the LORD God said to the serpent: "Because you have done this, you shall be banned  from all the animals and from all the wild creatures; On your belly shall you crawl, and dirt shall you eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman,  and between your offspring and hers; He will strike at your head,  while you strike at his heel.“ To the woman he said: "I will intensify the pangs of your child bearing;  in pain shall you bring forth children. Yet your urge shall be for your husband,  and he shall be your master."
