Answer: Genesis

When Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden God told them not to eat the fruit of a certain tree. After they had disobeyed Him and eaten the fruit they knew that they were naked and hid from God. God asked them if they had eaten the fruit.

"And the Lord God said to the woman 'What is this that thou hast done?' And the woman said 'The serpent beguiled me and I did eat'" Genesis 3:12-13. KJV
