[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.

The Fall

[1] Now the serpent H5175 was H1961 more subtil H6175 than any H3605 beast H2416 of the field H7704 which H834 the Lord H3068 God H430 had made. H6213 And he said H559 unto H413 the woman, H802 Yea, H637 H3588 hath H559§ God H430 said, H559 Ye shall H398 not H3808 eat H398 of every H3605 tree H6086 of the garden? H1588 [2] And the woman H802 said H559 unto H413 the serpent, H5175 We may eat H398 of the fruit H6529 of the trees H6086 of the garden: H1588 [3] but of the fruit H6529 of the tree H6086 which H834 is in the midst H8432 of the garden, H1588 God H430 hath said, H559 Ye shall H398 not H3808 eat H398 of it, H4480 neither H3808 shall ye touch H5060 it, lest H6435 ye die. H4191 [4] And the serpent H5175 said H559 unto H413 the woman, H802 Ye shall H4191 not H3808 surely H4191 die: H4191 [5] for H3588 God H430 doth know H3045 that H3588 in the day H3117 ye eat H398 thereof, H4480 then your eyes H5869 shall be opened, H6491 and ye shall be H1961 as gods, H430 knowing H3045 good H2896 and evil. H7451 [6] And when the woman H802 saw H7200 that H3588 the tree H6086 was good H2896 for food, H3978 and that H3588 it H1931 was pleasant H8378§ to the eyes, H5869 and a tree H6086 to be desired H2530 to make H7919 one wise, H7919 she took H3947 of the fruit thereof, H6529 and did eat, H398 and gave H5414 also H1571 unto her husband H376 with her; H5973 and he H398 did eat. H398 [7] And the eyes H5869 of them both H8147 were opened, H6491 and they knew H3045 that H3588 they H1992 were naked; H5903 and they sewed H8609 fig H8384 leaves H5929 together, H8609 and made H6213 themselves aprons. H2290§ [8] And they heard H8085 H853 the voice H6963 of the Lord H3068 God H430 walking H1980 in the garden H1588 in the cool H7307§ of the day: H3117 and Adam H120 and his wife H802 hid themselves H2244 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 unto H413 Adam, H120 and said H559 unto him, Where H335 art thou? H335 [10] And he said, H559 I heard H8085 H853 thy voice H6963 in the garden, H1588 and I was afraid, H3372 because H3588 I H595 was naked; H5903 and I hid myself. H2244 [11] And he said, H559 Who H4310 told H5046 thee that H3588 thou H859 wast naked? H5903 Hast thou eaten H398 of H4480 the tree, H6086 whereof H834 H4480 I commanded thee H6680 that H1115 thou shouldest H398 not H1115 eat? H398 [12] And the man H120 said, H559 The woman H802 whom H834 thou gavest H5414 to be with me, H5978 she H1931 gave H5414 me of H4480 the tree, H6086 and I H398 did eat. H398 [13] And the Lord H3068 God H430 said H559 unto the woman, H802 What H4100 is this H2063 that thou hast done? H6213 And the woman H802 said, H559 The serpent H5175 beguiled me, H5377 and I H398 did eat. H398 [14] And the Lord H3068 God H430 said H559 unto H413 the serpent, H5175 Because H3588 thou hast done H6213 this, H2063 thou H859 art cursed H779 above all H3605 cattle, H929 and above every H3605 beast H2416 of the field; H7704 upon H5921 thy belly H1512 shalt thou go, H3212 and dust H6083 shalt thou eat H398 all H3605 the days H3117 of thy life: H2416 [15] and I will put H7896 enmity H342 between thee H996 and H996 the woman, H802 and between H996 thy seed H2233 and H996 her seed; H2233 it H1931 shall bruise H7779 thy H7779 head, H7218 and thou H859 shalt bruise H7779 his H7779 heel. H6119 [16] Unto H413 the woman H802 he said, H559 I will greatly H7235 multiply H7235 thy sorrow H6093 and thy conception; H2032 in sorrow H6089 thou shalt bring forth H3205 children; H1121 and thy desire H8669 shall be to H413 thy husband, H376§ and he H1931 shall rule H4910 over thee. [17] And unto Adam H121 he said, H559 Because H3588 thou hast hearkened H8085 unto the voice H6963 of thy wife, H802 and hast eaten H398 of H4480 the tree, H6086 of which H834 I commanded thee, H6680 saying, H559 Thou shalt H398 not H3808 eat H398 of it: H4480 cursed H779 is the ground H127 for thy sake; H5668 in sorrow H6093 shalt thou eat H398 of it H398 all H3605 the days H3117 of thy life; H2416 [18] thorns also H6975 and thistles H1863 shall it bring forth H6779§ to thee; and thou shalt eat H398 H853 the herb H6212 of the field; H7704 [19] in the sweat H2188 of thy face H639 shalt thou eat H398 bread, H3899 till H5704 thou return H7725 unto H413 the ground; H127 for H3588 out of it H4480 wast thou taken: H3947 for H3588 dust H6083 thou H859 art, and unto H413 dust H6083 shalt thou return. H7725 [20] And Adam H120 called H7121 his wife’s H802 name H8034 Eve; H2332§ because H3588 she H1931 was H1961 the mother H517 of all H3605 living. H2416 [21] Unto Adam H121 also and to his wife H802 did the Lord H3068 God H430 make H6213 coats H3801 of skins, H5785 and clothed them. H3847 [22] And the Lord H3068 God H430 said, H559 Behold, H2005 the man H120 is become H1961 as one H259 of us, H4480 to know H3045 good H2896 and evil: H7451 and now, H6258 lest H6435 he put forth H7971 his hand, H3027 and take H3947 also H1571 of the tree H6086 of life, H2416 and eat, H398 and live H2425 for ever: H5769 [23] therefore the Lord H3068 God H430 sent him forth H7971 from the garden H1588 of Eden, H5731 to till H5647 H853 the ground H127 from whence H834 H8033 he was taken. H3947 [24] So he drove out H1644 H853 the man; H120 and he placed H7931 at the east H6924 of the garden H1588 of Eden H5731 H853 Cherubims, H3742 and H853 a flaming H3858 sword H2719 which turned every way, H2015 to keep H8104 H853 the way H1870 of the tree H6086 of life.
