Bible Verses About Serpent

The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat from the fruit of the trees of the garden,

but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, ‘You are neither to eat from it nor touch it, or you will die.’”

The man replied, “The woman you gave to be with me — she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate.”

Adonai, God, said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman answered, “The serpent tricked me, so I ate.”

Adonai, God, said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all livestock and wild animals. You will crawl on your belly and eat dust as long as you live.
