Genesis 3:5-6
5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.6 So 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, [1] she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
