Genesis 3:13

And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

1. Again, the LORD God asked Eve what she had done, giving her the opportunity to lie or tell the truth in whatever way she chose.
2. Eve admitted the serpent had lured her into eating the fruit.
3. This particular serpent opposed the LORD God by trying to fool others into doing things the LORD God told them not to do. Its motives are yet unclear.
4. The serpent appears not to have been child-like or innocent like Adam and Eve, but instead a clever troublemaker.
