Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?”
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, has God said, All of you shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 but not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it. You shall not touch it, lest you die.’”
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, All of you shall not eat of it, neither shall all of you touch it, lest all of you die.
4 The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die,
And the serpent said unto the woman, All of you shall not surely die:
5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
For God does know that in the day all of you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and all of you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.
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 did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 They heard Yahweh God’s voice walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.
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 among the trees of the garden.
9 Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where are you?
10 The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
And he said, I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
And he said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded you that you should not eat?
12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 Yahweh God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that you have done? And the woman said, The serpent misled me, and I did eat.
14 Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon your belly shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life:
15 I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.
16 To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. You will bear children in pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in sorrow you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you.
17 To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and have eaten from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labor all the days of your life.
And unto Adam he said, Because you have hearkened unto the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it: cursed is the ground for your sake; in sorrow shall you eat of it all the days of your life;
18 It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to you; and you shall eat the herb of the field;
19 You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”
In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, till you return unto the ground; for out of it were you taken: for dust you are, and unto dust shall you return.
20 The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Yahweh God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—”
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
