Genesis 3
1. 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?
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 * .
4. 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 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.
9. And the LORD 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 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 * .
14. 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:
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 LORD God make * coats of skins, and clothed them * .
22. 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:
23. Therefore the LORD 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.
