Genesis 3:7-13 is a passage from the Bible, specifically from the Book of Genesis. It’s about the story of Adam and Eve after they have eaten the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. Here’s a simplified version of what happens in these verses:
Verse 7: “And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.”
Adam and Eve realize they are naked and feel ashamed, so they make coverings from fig leaves.
Verse 8: “And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.”
They hear God walking in the garden and hide among the trees, fearing His presence.
Verse 9: “And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?”
God calls out to Adam, asking where he is.
Verse 10: “And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
Adam responds that he was afraid because he was naked, so he hid.
Verse 11: “And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?”
God questions Adam about how he knew he was naked and whether he ate from the forbidden tree.
Verse 12: “And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.”
Adam blames Eve, saying she gave him the fruit.
Verse 13: “And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.”
God then questions Eve, who blames the serpent for deceiving her into eating the fruit.
This passage highlights the moment when Adam and Eve become aware of their disobedience and their attempt to hide and shift the blame. It marks the beginning of their awareness of sin and its consequences. If you need any more details, feel free to ask!
