וְהַנָּחָשׁ֙ הָיָ֣ה עָר֔וּם מִכֹּל֙ חַיַּ֣ת הַשָּׂדֶ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׂ֖ה יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ אֶל־הָ֣אִשָּׁ֔ה אַ֚ף כִּֽי־אָמַ֣ר אֱלֹהִ֔ים לֹ֣א תֹֽאכְל֔וּ מִכֹּ֖ל עֵ֥ץ הַגָּֽן׃

ונחשה הוה אסטיל מן כל עפיסת ברה דעבדון יהוה אלהים ואמר לאתאה ברן כי מלל אלהים לא תיכלו מכל עילן גנתה:

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which YHWH God had made, and he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?”
