'''Carnal knowledge''' is an archaic or [[legal]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphemism euphemism] for [[sexual intercourse]]. The term derives from the Biblical usage of the verb know/knew, as in the King James and other versions, a euphemism for [[sexual]] conduct. "And [[Adam]] ''knew'' [[Eve]] his [[wife]]; and she [[conceived]], and bore [[Cain]], and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD." - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_genesis#Chapter_.4 Genesis 4:1].
