Genesis 3:4
“The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,”
Verse in context — Genesis 3
The woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,
for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.
