Now athe serpent was more
crafty
than
any
beast
of the field
which
the LORD
God
had made
. And he said
to the woman
, "Indeed
, has God
said
, `You shall not eat
from 1any
tree
of the garden
'?"
The woman said
to the serpent
, " aFrom the fruit
of the trees
of the garden
we may eat
;
but from the fruit of the tree
which
is in the middle
of the garden
, God
has said
, `You shall not eat
from it or touch
it, or you will die
.' "
aThe serpent said
to the woman
, "You surely
will not die
!
"For God knows
that in the day
you eat
from it your eyes
will be opened
, and ayou will be like God
, knowing
good
and evil
."
aWhen the woman saw
that the tree
was good
for food
, and that it was a delight
to the eyes
, and that the tree
was desirable
to make one wise
, she took
from its fruit
and ate
; and she gave
also
to her husband
with her, and he ate
.
Then the eyes of both
of them were opened
, and they aknew
that they were naked
; and they sewed
fig
leaves
together
and made
themselves
1loin
coverings
.
They heard the sound
of athe LORD
God
walking
in the garden
in the 1cool
of the day
, band the man
and his wife
hid
themselves from the presence
of the LORD
God
among
the trees
of the garden
.
Then the LORD God
called
to the man
, and said
to him, " aWhere
are you?"
He said, " aI heard
the sound
of You in the garden
, and I was afraid
because
I was naked
; so I hid
myself."
And He said, "Who
told
you that you were naked
? Have you eaten
from the tree
of which
I commanded
you not to eat
?"
aThe man said
, "The woman
whom
You gave
to be with me, she gave
me from the tree
, and I ate
."
Then the LORD God
said
to the woman
, "What
is this
you have done
?" And the woman
said
, " aThe serpent
deceived
me, and I ate
."
The LORD God
said
to the serpent
, " aBecause
you have done
this
, Cursed
are you more
than
all
cattle
, And more
than
every
beast
of the field
; On your belly
you will go
, And bdust
you will eat
All
the days
of your life
;
And I will put aenmity
Between
you and the woman
, And between
your seed
and her seed
; bHe shall 1bruise
you on the head
, And you shall bruise
him on the heel
."
To the woman He said
, "I will greatly
multiply
Your pain
1in childbirth
, In pain
you will abring
forth
children
; Yet your desire
will be for your husband
, And bhe will rule
over you."
Then to Adam He said
, "Because
you have listened
to the voice
of your wife
, and have eaten
from the tree
about which
I commanded
you, saying
, `You shall not eat
from it'; aCursed
is the ground
because
of you; bIn 1toil
you will eat
of it All
the days
of your life
.
"Both thorns and thistles
it shall grow
for you; And you will eat
the 1plants
of the field
;
By the sweat of your face
You will eat
bread
, Till
you areturn
to the ground
, Because
bfrom it you were taken
; For you are dust
, And to dust
you shall return
."
Now the man called
his wife's
name
1 aEve
, because
she was the mother
of all
the living
.
The LORD God
made
garments
of skin
for Adam
and his wife
, and clothed
them.
Then the LORD God
said
, "Behold
, the man
has become
like one
of aUs, knowing
good
and evil
; and now
, he might
stretch
out his hand
, and take
also
from bthe tree
of life
, and eat
, and live
forever
"--
therefore the LORD God
sent
him out from the garden
of Eden
, to cultivate
the ground
from which
he was taken
.
So aHe drove the man
out; and at the beast
of the garden
of Eden
He stationed
the ccherubim
and the flaming
sword
which turned
every direction to guard
the way
to dthe tree
of life
.
