Now the serpent was
more subtil
than any beast
of the field
which the LORD
God
had made
. And he said
unto the woman
, Yea
, hath God
said
, Ye shall not eat
of every tree
of the garden
?
And the woman said
unto the serpent
, We may eat
of the fruit
of the trees
of the garden
:
But of the fruit of the tree
which is in the midst
of the garden
, God
hath said
, Ye shall not eat
of it, neither shall ye touch
it, lest
ye die
.
And the serpent said
unto the woman
, Ye shall not surely
die
:
For God doth know
that in the day
ye eat
thereof, then your eyes
shall be opened
, and ye shall be as gods
, knowing
good
and evil
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
And the LORD God
called
unto Adam
, and said
unto him, Where art thou
?
And he said, I heard
thy voice
in the garden
, and I was afraid
, because I
was naked
; and I hid myself
.
And he said, Who
told
thee that thou wast naked
? Hast thou eaten
of the tree
, whereof I commanded thee
that thou shouldest not
eat
?
And the man said
, The woman
whom thou gavest
to be with me
, she
gave
me of the tree
, and I did eat
.
And the LORD God
said
unto the woman
, What is this that thou hast done
? And the woman
said
, The serpent
beguiled me
, and I did eat
.
And the LORD God
said
unto the serpent
, Because thou
hast done
this, thou art cursed
above all cattle
, and above every beast
of the field
; upon thy belly
shalt thou go
, and dust
shalt thou eat
all the days
of thy life
:
And I will put enmity
between thee and the woman
, and between thy seed
and her seed
; it shall bruise
thy head
, and thou shalt bruise
his heel
.
Unto the woman he said
, I will greatly
multiply
thy sorrow
and thy conception
; in sorrow
thou shalt bring forth
children
; and thy desire
shall be to thy husband
, and he shall rule
over thee.
And unto Adam he said
, Because thou hast hearkened
unto the voice
of thy wife
, and hast eaten
of the tree
, of which
I commanded thee
, saying
, Thou shalt not eat
of it: cursed
is the ground
for thy sake; in sorrow
shalt thou eat
of it all
the days
of thy life
;
Thorns also and thistles
shall it bring forth
to thee; and thou shalt eat
the herb
of the field
;
In the sweat of thy face
shalt thou eat
bread
, till
thou return
unto the ground
; for out of it wast thou taken
: for dust
thou
art , and unto dust
shalt thou return
.
And Adam called
his wife's
name
Eve
; because she was the mother
of all living
.
Unto Adam also and to his wife
did the LORD
God
make
coats
of skins
, and clothed them
.
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
:
Therefore the LORD God
sent him forth
from the garden
of Eden
, to till
the ground
from whence he was taken
.
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
.
