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, to till the earth. And they have brought forth children; yea, even the family of all the earth.
