Genesis 3
1 And the serpent has been cunning above every beast of the field which YHWH God has made, and he says to the woman, “Is it true that God has said, You do not eat from every tree of the garden?”
Now the serpent was more shrewd than any other beast of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, 'You must not eat from any tree of the garden'?”
2 And the woman says to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we eat,
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden,
3 but from the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God has said, You do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest you die.”
but concerning the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God said, 'You may not eat it, nor may you touch it, or you will die.'”
4 And the serpent says to the woman, “Dying, you do not die,
The serpent said to the woman, “You will surely not die.
5 for God knows that in the day of your eating of it—your eyes have been opened, and you have been as God, knowing good and evil.”
For God knows that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 And the woman sees that the tree [is] good for food, and that it [is] pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make [one] wise, and she takes from its fruit and eats, and also gives [some] to her husband with her, and he eats;
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 desirable to make one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate it. Then she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.
7 and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they [are] naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make girdles for themselves.
The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
8 And they hear the sound of YHWH God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of YHWH God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
They heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, so the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.
9 And YHWH God calls to the man and says to him, “Where [are] you?”
Yahweh God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 And he says, “I have heard Your sound in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.”
The man said, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked. So I hid myself.”
11 And He says, “Who has declared to you that you [are] naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I have commanded you not to eat?”
God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 And the man says, “The woman whom You placed with me—she has given to me from the tree, and I eat.”
The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 And YHWH God says to the woman, “What [is] this you have done?” And the woman says, “The serpent has caused me to forget, and I eat.”
Yahweh God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent lied to me, and I ate.”
14 And YHWH God says to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed [are] you above all the livestock, and above every beast of the field: on your belly you go, and dust you eat, [for] all days of your life;
Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you alone among all the livestock and all the beasts of the field. It is on your stomach that you will go, and it is dust that you will eat all the days of your life.
15 and I put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He bruises your head, and you bruise His heel.”
I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”
16 To the woman He said, “Multiplying I multiply your sorrow and your conception; you will bear children in sorrow, and your desire [is] toward your Man [[or husband]], and He [[or he]] will rule over you.”
To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in having children; it is in pain that you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, but he will rule over you.”
17 And to the man He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and eat from the tree concerning which I have charged you, saying, You do not eat of it, cursed [is] the ground on your account; in sorrow you eat of it [for] all days of your life,
To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree, concerning which I commanded you, saying, 'You may not eat from it,' cursed is the ground because of you; through painful work you will eat from it all the days of your life.
18 and it brings forth thorn and bramble for you, and you have eaten the herb of the field;
It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 by the sweat of your face you eat bread until your return to the ground, for you have been taken out of it, for dust you [are], and to dust you return.”
By the sweat of your face you will eat bread, until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you will return.”
20 And the man calls his wife’s name Eve, for she has been mother of all living.
The man called his wife's name Eve because she was the mother of all the living.
21 And YHWH God makes coats of skin [for] the man and his wife, and clothes them.
Yahweh God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.
22 And YHWH God says, “Behold, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and has also taken from the Tree of Life, and eaten, and lived for all time.”
Yahweh God said, “Now the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So now he must not be allowed to reach out with his hand, take from the tree of life, eat it, and live forever.”
23 YHWH God sends him forth from the Garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he has been taken;
Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken.
24 indeed, He casts out the man, and causes the cherubim to dwell at the east of the Garden of Eden with the sword of flame whirling around to guard the way of the Tree of Life.
So God drove the man out of the garden, and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword that turned every way, in order to guard the way to the tree of life.
