1
Now the serpent
was more subtil than any beast of the field which the
L
ORD
God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2
And the woman said unto 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 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:
5
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.
6
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.
7
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
And they heard the voice of the
L
ORD
God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the
L
ORD
God amongst the trees of the garden.
9
And the
L
ORD
God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where
art
thou?
10
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I
was
naked; and I hid myself.
11
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?
12
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest
to be
with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13
And the
L
ORD
God said unto the woman, What
is
this
that
thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14
And the
L
ORD
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:
15
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.
16
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.
17
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;
18
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19
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.
20
And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the
L
ORD
God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22
And the
L
ORD
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:
23
Therefore the
L
ORD
God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24
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.
