Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?”
And the serpent was more crafty than any animal of the field which Jehovah Elohim had made. And it said to the woman, Is it even so, that God has said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,
And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;
3 but not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it. You shall not touch it, lest you die.’”
but of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, and ye shall not touch it, lest ye die.
4 The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die,
And the serpent said to the woman, Ye will not certainly 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.”
but God knows that in the day ye eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, 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 some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.
And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a pleasure for the eyes, and the tree was to be desired to give intelligence; and she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
7 Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
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.
8 They heard the LORD God’s voice walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
And they heard the voice of Jehovah Elohim, walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah Elohim, in the midst of the trees of the garden.
9 The LORD God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
And Jehovah Elohim called to Man, and said to him, Where art thou?
10 The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I feared, because I am naked; and I hid myself.
11 God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
And he said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not to eat?
12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
And Man said, The woman, whom thou hast given [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.
13 The LORD God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
And Jehovah Elohim said to the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.
14 The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
And Jehovah Elohim said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, be thou cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. On thy belly shalt thou go, and eat dust all the days of thy life.
15 I will put hostility 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 thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall crush thy head, and thou shalt crush his heel.
16 To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. You will bear children in pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
To the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy travail and thy pregnancy; with pain thou shalt bear children; and to thy husband shall be thy desire, and he shall rule over thee.
17 To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and have eaten from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labour all the days of your life.
And to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed be the ground on thy account; with toil shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;
18 It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
and thorns and thistles shall it yield thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
19 You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust thou art; and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.
And Man called his wife's name Eve; because she is the mother of all living.
21 The LORD God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
And Jehovah Elohim made Adam and his wife coats of skin, and clothed them.
22 The LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—”
And Jehovah Elohim said, Behold, Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever...!
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
Therefore Jehovah Elohim 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 guard the way to the tree of life.
And he drove out Man; and he set the Cherubim, and the flame of the flashing sword, toward the east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way to the tree of life.
