Genesis 3 (WEBP)

[1] Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?”
[2] The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from 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.’ ”
[4] The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really 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.”
[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.
[7] Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
[8] They heard Yahweh 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 Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.
[9] Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
[10] The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so 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?”
[12] The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
[13] Yahweh God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
[14] Yahweh 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.
[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.”
[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.”
[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 labor all the days of your life.
[18] It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will 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.”
[20] The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.
[21] Yahweh God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
[22] Yahweh 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—”
[23] Therefore Yahweh God sent him out 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.

Genesis 3:24 cherubim are powerful angelic creatures, messengers of God with wings. See Ezekiel 10.

Genesis 3 (KJVS)

[1] Now the serpent H5175 was H1961 (8804) more subtil H6175 than any beast H2416 of the field H7704 which the LORD H3068 God H430 had made H6213 (8804). And he said H559 (8799) unto the woman H802, Yea H637, hath God H430 said H559 (8804), Ye shall not eat H398 (8799) of every tree H6086 of the garden H1588?
[2] And the woman H802 said H559 (8799) unto the serpent H5175, We may eat H398 (8799) of the fruit H6529 of the trees H6086 of the garden H1588:
[3] But of the fruit H6529 of the tree H6086 which [is] in the midst H8432 of the garden H1588, God H430 hath said H559 (8804), Ye shall not eat H398 (8799) of it, neither shall ye touch H5060 (8799) it, lest H6435 ye die H4191 (8799).
[4] And the serpent H5175 said H559 (8799) unto the woman H802, Ye shall not surely H4191 (8800) die H4191 (8799):
[5] For God H430 doth know H3045 (8802) that in the day H3117 ye eat H398 (8800) thereof, then your eyes H5869 shall be opened H6491 (8738), and ye shall be as gods H430, knowing H3045 (8802) good H2896 and evil H7451.
[6] And when the woman H802 saw H7200 (8799) that the tree H6086 [was] good H2896 for food H3978, and that it H1931 [was] pleasant H8378 to the eyes H5869, and a tree H6086 to be desired H2530 (8737) to make [one] wise H7919 (8687), she took H3947 (8799) of the fruit thereof H6529, and did eat H398 (8799), and gave H5414 (8799) also H1571 unto her husband H376 with her; and he did eat H398 (8799).
[7] And the eyes H5869 of them both H8147 were opened H6491 (8735), and they H1992 knew H3045 (8799) that they [were] naked H5903; and they sewed H8609 fig H8384 leaves H5929 together H8609 (8799), and made themselves H6213 (8799) aprons H2290.
[8] And they heard H8085 (8799) the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 God H430 walking H1980 (8693) in the garden H1588 in the cool H7307 of the day H3117: and Adam H120 and his wife H802 hid themselves H2244 (8691) from the presence H6440 of the LORD H3068 God H430 amongst H8432 the trees H6086 of the garden H1588.
[9] And the LORD H3068 God H430 called H7121 (8799) unto Adam H120, and said H559 (8799) unto him, Where [art] thou H335?
[10] And he said H559 (8799), I heard H8085 (8804) thy voice H6963 in the garden H1588, and I was afraid H3372 (8799), because I H595 [was] naked H5903; and I hid myself H2244 (8735).
[11] And he said H559 (8799), Who H4310 told H5046 (8689) thee that thou [wast] naked H5903? Hast thou eaten H398 (8804) of the tree H6086, whereof I commanded thee H6680 (8765) that thou shouldest not H1115 eat H398 (8800)?
[12] And the man H120 said H559 (8799), The woman H802 whom thou gavest H5414 (8804) [to be] with me H5978, she H1931 gave H5414 (8804) me of the tree H6086, and I did eat H398 (8799).
[13] And the LORD H3068 God H430 said H559 (8799) unto the woman H802, What [is] this [that] thou hast done H6213 (8804)? And the woman H802 said H559 (8799), The serpent H5175 beguiled me H5377 (8689), and I did eat H398 (8799).
[14] And the LORD H3068 God H430 said H559 (8799) unto the serpent H5175, Because thou H859 hast done H6213 (8804) this, thou [art] cursed H779 (8803) above all cattle H929, and above every beast H2416 of the field H7704; upon thy belly H1512 shalt thou go H3212 (8799), and dust H6083 shalt thou eat H398 (8799) all the days H3117 of thy life H2416:
[15] And I will put H7896 (8799) enmity H342 between thee and the woman H802, and between thy seed H2233 and her seed H2233; it shall bruise H7779 (8799) thy head H7218, and thou shalt bruise H7779 (8799) his heel H6119.
[16] Unto the woman H802 he said H559 (8804), I will greatly H7235 (8687) multiply H7235 (8686) thy sorrow H6093 and thy conception H2032; in sorrow H6089 thou shalt bring forth H3205 (8799) children H1121; and thy desire H8669 [shall be] to thy husband H376, and he shall rule H4910 (8799) over thee.
[17] And unto Adam H121 he said H559 (8804), Because thou hast hearkened H8085 (8804) unto the voice H6963 of thy wife H802, and hast eaten H398 (8799) of the tree H6086, of which H834 I commanded thee H6680 (8765), saying H559 (8800), Thou shalt not eat H398 (8799) of it: cursed H779 (8803) [is] the ground H127 for thy sake; in sorrow H6093 shalt thou eat H398 (8799) [of] it all H3605 the days H3117 of thy life H2416;
[18] Thorns also H6975 and thistles H1863 shall it bring forth H6779 (8686) to thee; and thou shalt eat H398 (8804) the herb H6212 of the field H7704;
[19] In the sweat H2188 of thy face H639 shalt thou eat H398 (8799) bread H3899, till H5704 thou return H7725 (8800) unto the ground H127; for out of it wast thou taken H3947 (8795): for dust H6083 thou H859 [art], and unto dust H6083 shalt thou return H7725 (8799).
[20] And Adam H120 called H7121 (8799) his wife’s H802 name H8034 Eve H2332; because she was the mother H517 of all living H2416.
[21] Unto Adam H120 also and to his wife H802 did the LORD H3068 God H430 make H6213 (8799) coats H3801 of skins H5785, and clothed them H3847 (8686).
[22] And the LORD H3068 God H430 said H559 (8799), Behold H2005, the man H120 is become as one H259 of us, to know H3045 (8800) good H2896 and evil H7451: and now, lest he put forth H7971 (8799) his hand H3027, and take H3947 (8804) also of the tree H6086 of life H2416, and eat H398 (8804), and live H2425 (8804) for ever H5769:
[23] Therefore the LORD H3068 God H430 sent him forth H7971 (8762) from the garden H1588 of Eden H5731, to till H5647 (8800) the ground H127 from whence he was taken H3947 (8795).
[24] So he drove out H1644 (8762) the man H120; and he placed H7931 (8686) at the east H6924 of the garden H1588 of Eden H5731 Cherubims H3742, and a flaming H3858 sword H2719 which turned every way H2015 (8693), to keep H8104 (8800) the way H1870 of the tree H6086 of life H2416.

Young’s Literal Translation

Genesis 3 (YLT)

[1] And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, ‘Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of the garden?’
[2] And the woman saith unto the serpent, ‘Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,
[3] and of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.’
[4] And the serpent saith unto the woman, ‘Dying, ye do not die,
[5] for God doth know that in the day of your eating of it-your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, knowing good and evil.’
[6] And the woman seeth that the tree is good for food, and that it is pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make one wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat;
[7] and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they are naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make to themselves girdles.
[8] And they hear the sound of Jehovah God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of Jehovah God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
[9] And Jehovah God calleth unto the man, and saith to him, ‘Where art thou?’
[10] and he saith, ‘Thy sound I have heard in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.’
[11] And He saith, ‘Who hath declared to thee that thou art naked? of the tree of which I have commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?’
[12] and the man saith, ‘The woman whom Thou didst place with me-she hath given to me of the tree-and I do eat.’
[13] And Jehovah God saith to the woman, ‘What is this thou hast done?’ and the woman saith, ‘The serpent hath caused me to forget-and I do eat.’
[14] And Jehovah God saith unto the serpent, ‘Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field: on thy belly dost thou go, and dust thou dost eat, all days of thy life;
[15] and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee-the head, and thou dost bruise him-the heel.’
[16] Unto the woman He said, ‘Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and toward thy husband is thy desire, and he doth rule over thee.’
[17] And to the man He said, ‘Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and dost eat of the tree concerning which I have charged thee, saying, Thou dost not eat of it, cursed is the ground on thine account; in sorrow thou dost eat of it all days of thy life,
[18] and thorn and bramble it doth bring forth to thee, and thou hast eaten the herb of the field;
[19] by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou art, and unto dust thou turnest back.’
[20] And the man calleth his wife’s name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living.
[21] And Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe them.
[22] And Jehovah God saith, ‘Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,’-
[23] Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he hath been taken;
[24] yea, he casteth out the man, and causeth to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flame of the sword which is turning itself round to guard the way of the tree of life.
