Genesis 3 6:10

6: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof and ate, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he ate.

7: And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves things to gird about.

8: And they heard the voice of the Lord God, walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

9: And the Lord God called unto Adam and said unto him, “Where art thou?”

10: And he said, “I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
