Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more shrewd than any of the wild animals which God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'"
And the two were naked, both Adam and his wife, and were not ashamed. Now the serpent was the most crafty of all the brutes on the earth, which the Lord God made, and the serpent said to the woman, Therefore has God said, Eat not of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
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 middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"
but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,
And the serpent said to the woman, 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 knew that in whatever day you should eat of it your eyes would be opened, and you would 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 of its fruit, and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes to look upon and beautiful to contemplate, and having taken of its fruit she ate, and she gave to her husband also with her, and they ate.
7 The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
And the eyes of both were opened, and they perceived that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons to go round them.
8 They heard the voice of God walking in the garden during the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of God among the trees of the garden.
And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the afternoon; and both Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
9 So God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"
And the Lord God called Adam and said to him, Adam, where are you?
10 And he said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself."
And he said to him, I heard your voice as you walked in the garden, and I feared because I was naked and I hid myself.
11 And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"
And God said to him, Who told you that you were naked, unless you have eaten of the tree concerning which I charged you of it alone not to eat?
12 The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
And Adam said, The woman whom you gave to be with me—she gave me of the tree and I ate.
13 Then God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
And the Lord God said to the woman, Why have you done this? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me and I ate.
14 So God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above every tame animal, and above every wild animal. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
And the Lord God said to the serpent, Because you have done this you are cursed above all cattle and all the brutes of the earth, on your breast and belly you shall go, and you shall eat earth all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity 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, he shall watch against your head, and you shall watch against his heel.
16 And to the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
And to the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your pains and your groanings; in pain you shall bring forth children, and your submission 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 of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
And to Adam he said, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and eaten of the tree concerning which I charged you of it only not to eat—of that you have eaten, cursed [is] the ground in your labours, in pain shall you eat of it all the days of your life.
18 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the plants of the field.
Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you, and you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
In the sweat of your face shall you eat your bread until you return to the earth out of which you were taken, for earth you are and to earth you shall return.
20 The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
And Adam called the name of his wife Life, because she was the mother of all living.
21 And God made clothing out of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of skin, and clothed them.
22 Then God said, "Look, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So now, let us send him out, lest he reach out his hand and also take of the tree of life and eat, and live forever."
And God said, Behold, Adam is become as one of us, to know good and evil, and now lest at any time he stretch forth his hand, and take of the tree of life and eat, and [so] he shall live forever—
23 Therefore YHWH sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
So the Lord God sent him forth out of the garden of Delight to cultivate the ground out of which he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he stationed the cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every direction, to guard the way to the tree of life.
And he cast out Adam and caused him to dwell over against the garden of Delight, and stationed the cherubs and the fiery sword that turns about to keep the way of the tree of life.
