1Then the serpent saith to me, "May Elohim (God) live! but I am grieved on your account, for I would not have you ignorant. But arise, (come) hither, hearken to me and eat and mind the value of that tree."
2But I said to him, " I fear lest Elohim (God) be wroth with me as he told us." And he saith to me: "Fear not, for as soon as thou eatest of it, ye too shall be as Elohim (God), in that ye shall know good and evil.
