for him." 19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the
ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air.

them; and whatever the man called each living creature,

livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.

the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the
eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some

with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were
opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed
fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
