Revision as of 22:11, 2 June 2012

• 1 Now the serpent was craftier than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?’”

• 2 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 it, nor shall you touch it, lest ye die.’”

• 4 And the serpent said to the woman, “You shall not surely die.

• 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it, then your eyes will be opened, and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil.

• 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.

• 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

• 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 among the trees of the garden.

• 9 And the LORD God called to Adam, and said to him, “Where are you?”

• 10 And he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid 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 of which I commanded you that you should not eat?

• 12 Then the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.

• 13 And the LORD God said to the woman, What is this that you have done? And the woman said, The serpent decieved me, and I ate.

• 14 And the LORD God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; upon your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

• 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.

• 16 To the woman He said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.

• 17 And to Adam He said, Because you have heeded to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, You shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life.

• 18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the herb of the field.

• 19 In the sweat of thy face shall you eat bread, utill you return to the ground; for out of it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.

• 20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

• 21 Also the LORD God made coats of skins for Adam and for his wife and clothed them.

• 22 Then the LORD God said, Behold, the man has become like 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 out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.

• 24 So He drove out the man; and He placed Cherubims at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to protect the way to the tree of life.
