Now the
serpent was more subtle than
any beast of the field which the Lord
God had made. And he said to the woman, “Yes, has God said, “You must not eat
of every tree of the garden?””
2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the
fruit of the trees of the garden, 3
but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God
has said, “You must not eat of it, neither must you touch it, lest you die.””
4 And the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely
die; 5 for God does
know that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes will be opened, and you
will be as gods, knowing good and evil.”
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 did eat, and gave also to her husband
with her; and he did eat. 7 And
the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and
they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
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 to Adam, and said to
him,
“Where are you?”
10 And he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I
was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And He said,
“Who told you that you were
naked? Have you eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you that
you should not eat?”
12 And the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with
me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.”
13 And the Lord
God said to the woman,
“What is this that you have
done?”
And the woman
said, “The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.”
14 And the Lord
God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
“You are cursed above all cattle,
and above every beast of the
field;
upon your belly you will go,
and dust you will eat
all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your seed and her
seed;
it shall bruise your head,
and you will bruise his heel.””
16 To the woman He said,
“I will greatly multiply
your sorrow and your conception,
in sorrow you will bring forth
children;
and your desire will be to your
husband,
and he will rule over you.”
17 And to Adam He said,
“Because you have heeded the
voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded
you, saying, ‘You must not eat of it,’
“Cursed is the ground for your
sake;
in sorrow you will eat of it
all the days of your life;
18 Thorns and thistles will it also
bring forth to you,
and you will eat the herb of the
field.
19 In the sweat of your face
you will eat bread,
till you return to the ground;
for out of it you were taken,
for dust you are,
and to dust you will return.”
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve, because she was
the mother of all living.
21 To Adam and also to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and
clothed them. 22 And
the Lord God said,
“Behold, the man has 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 forever.”
23 Therefore
the Lord God sent him forth from
the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which 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 keep the way of the tree of life.
