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.
