Timeline
The serpent deceives Eve into eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve then gives some to Adam, and he eats. Their eyes are opened, and they realize they are naked, making girdles of fig leaves.
Genesis 3:1-7God confronts Adam and Eve. The serpent is cursed to crawl on its belly and eat dust. Enmity is put between the serpent's seed and the woman's Seed. Eve's pain in childbearing is increased, and her husband will rule over her. Adam's toil for food is cursed, and he will return to dust. Adam names his wife Eve, as she is the mother of all living. God makes clothes of skin for them and drives them out of the Garden of Eden, placing cherubs and a flaming sword to guard the Tree of Life.
