About Genesis 3
The serpent persuades the woman to eat from the forbidden tree, the man eats with her, and their eyes are opened to shame and hiding. God pronounces judgment on the serpent, the woman, and the man — yet within the curse comes the first promise of redemption, the seed of the woman who will crush the serpent's head — before the pair are clothed and exiled from Eden.

“they were, through the fraud of the Serpent, stripped naked.”
What the Early Church wrote about Genesis 3 (4)
-

-
“(35) Why, when it was commanded them to avoid eating of one plant alone, the woman made also a further addition to this injunction, saying, "He said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it?" (#Ge 3:3). In the first place she says this, because taste and every other...”
-
“It is the custom for contending arguers to speak falsely in an artful manner, in order to produce ignorance of the real facts, as was done in this case, since the man and woman had been commanded to eat of all the trees but one. But this insidious prompter of wickedness coming...”
-
“(36) What is the meaning of the expression, "Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil?" (#Ge 3:5). Whence was it that the serpent found the plural word "gods," when there is only one true God, and when this is the first time that he names him?”
