The serpent talks to Eve Genesis 3.1-5  Now the serpent was the most cautious of all the wild animals of the field that Jehovah God had made. So it said to the woman: “Did God really say that you must not eat from every tree of the garden?”2  At this the woman said to the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. 3  But God has said about the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden: ‘You must not eat from it, no, you must not touch it; otherwise you will die.’” 4  At this the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die. 5  For God knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad.”
