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 (BYZ)

[1] ο δε οφις ην φρονιμωτατος παντων των θηριων των επι της γης ων εποιησεν κυριος ο θεος και ειπεν ο οφις τη γυναικι τι οτι ειπεν ο θεος ου μη φαγητε απο παντος ξυλου του εν τω παραδεισω
[2] και ειπεν η γυνη τω οφει απο καρπου ξυλου του παραδεισου φαγομεθα
[3] απο δε καρπου του ξυλου ο εστιν εν μεσω του παραδεισου ειπεν ο θεος ου φαγεσθε απ αυτου ουδε μη αψησθε αυτου ινα μη αποθανητε
[4] και ειπεν ο οφις τη γυναικι ου θανατω αποθανεισθε
[5] ηδει γαρ ο θεος οτι εν η αν ημερα φαγητε απ αυτου διανοιχθησονται υμων οι οφθαλμοι και εσεσθε ως θεοι γινωσκοντες καλον και πονηρον
[6] και ειδεν η γυνη οτι καλον το ξυλον εις βρωσιν και οτι αρεστον τοις οφθαλμοις ιδειν και ωραιον εστιν του κατανοησαι και λαβουσα του καρπου αυτου εφαγεν και εδωκεν και τω ανδρι αυτης μετ αυτης και εφαγον
[7] και διηνοιχθησαν οι οφθαλμοι των δυο και εγνωσαν οτι γυμνοι ησαν και ερραψαν φυλλα συκης και εποιησαν εαυτοις περιζωματα
[8] και ηκουσαν την φωνην κυριου του θεου περιπατουντος εν τω παραδεισω το δειλινον και εκρυβησαν ο τε αδαμ και η γυνη αυτου απο προσωπου κυριου του θεου εν μεσω του ξυλου του παραδεισου
[9] και εκαλεσεν κυριος ο θεος τον αδαμ και ειπεν αυτω αδαμ που ει
[10] και ειπεν αυτω την φωνην σου ηκουσα περιπατουντος εν τω παραδεισω και εφοβηθην οτι γυμνος ειμι και εκρυβην
[11] και ειπεν αυτω τις ανηγγειλεν σοι οτι γυμνος ει μη απο του ξυλου ου ενετειλαμην σοι τουτου μονου μη φαγειν απ αυτου εφαγες
[12] και ειπεν ο αδαμ η γυνη ην εδωκας μετ εμου αυτη μοι εδωκεν απο του ξυλου και εφαγον
[13] και ειπεν κυριος ο θεος τη γυναικι τι τουτο εποιησας και ειπεν η γυνη ο οφις ηπατησεν με και εφαγον
[14] και ειπεν κυριος ο θεος τω οφει οτι εποιησας τουτο επικαταρατος συ απο παντων των κτηνων και απο παντων των θηριων της γης επι τω στηθει σου και τη κοιλια πορευση και γην φαγη πασας τας ημερας της ζωης σου
[15] και εχθραν θησω ανα μεσον σου και ανα μεσον της γυναικος και ανα μεσον του σπερματος σου και ανα μεσον του σπερματος αυτης αυτος σου τηρησει κεφαλην και συ τηρησεις αυτου πτερναν
[16] και τη γυναικι ειπεν πληθυνων πληθυνω τας λυπας σου και τον στεναγμον σου εν λυπαις τεξη τεκνα και προς τον ανδρα σου η αποστροφη σου και αυτος σου κυριευσει
[17] τω δε αδαμ ειπεν οτι ηκουσας της φωνης της γυναικος σου και εφαγες απο του ξυλου ου ενετειλαμην σοι τουτου μονου μη φαγειν απ αυτου επικαταρατος η γη εν τοις εργοις σου εν λυπαις φαγη αυτην πασας τας ημερας της ζωης σου
[18] ακανθας και τριβολους ανατελει σοι και φαγη τον χορτον του αγρου
[19] εν ιδρωτι του προσωπου σου φαγη τον αρτον σου εως του αποστρεψαι σε εις την γην εξ ης ελημφθης οτι γη ει και εις γην απελευση
[20] και εκαλεσεν αδαμ το ονομα της γυναικος αυτου ζωη οτι αυτη μητηρ παντων των ζωντων
[21] και εποιησεν κυριος ο θεος τω αδαμ και τη γυναικι αυτου χιτωνας δερματινους και ενεδυσεν αυτους
[22] και ειπεν ο θεος ιδου αδαμ γεγονεν ως εις εξ ημων του γινωσκειν καλον και πονηρον και νυν μηποτε εκτεινη την χειρα και λαβη του ξυλου της ζωης και φαγη και ζησεται εις τον αιωνα
[23] και εξαπεστειλεν αυτον κυριος ο θεος εκ του παραδεισου της τρυφης εργαζεσθαι την γην εξ ης ελημφθη
[24] και εξεβαλεν τον αδαμ και κατωκισεν αυτον απεναντι του παραδεισου της τρυφης και εταξεν τα χερουβιμ και την φλογινην ρομφαιαν την στρεφομενην φυλασσειν την οδον του ξυλου της ζωης
