2 Nephi 2:18–20

Wherefore, he said unto Eve, yea, even that old serpent, who is the devil, who is the father of all lies, wherefore he said:

“Partake of the forbidden fruit, and ye shall not die,
_but ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.”

And after Adam and Eve had partaken of the forbidden fruit they were driven out of the garden of Eden, [i]2267[/i] to till the earth. And they have brought forth children; yea, even the family of all the earth. [i]1151[/i]
