1 Now the serpent was more craftythan any of the wild animals the LordGod had made. He said to the woman,"Did God really say, 'You must not eatfrom any tree in the garden'?"2 The woman said to the serpent, "Wemay eat fruit from the trees in thegarden,3 but God did say, 'You must not eat fruitfrom the tree that is in the middle of thegarden, and you must not touch it, oryou will die.' "4 "You will not surely die," the serpentsaid to the woman.5 "For God knows that when you eat of ityour eyes will be opened, and you willbe like God, knowing good and evil."6 When the woman saw that the fruit ofthe tree was good for food and pleasingto the eye, and also desirable forgaining wisdom, she took some and ateit. She also gave some to her husband,who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them wereopened, and they realized they werenaked; so they sewed fig leavestogether and made coverings forthemselves. 8 Then the man and his wife heard thesound of the Lord God as he waswalking in the garden in the cool of theday, and they hid from the Lord Godamong the trees of the garden.9 But the Lord God called to the man,"Where are you?"10 He answered, "I heard you in thegarden, and I was afraid because I wasnaked; so I hid."11 And he said, "Who told you that youwere naked? Have you eaten from thetree that I commanded you not to eatfrom?"12 The man said, "The woman you puthere with me-she gave me some fruitfrom the tree, and I ate it."13 Then the Lord God said to the woman,"What is this you have done?" Thewoman said, "The serpent deceived me,and I ate."14 So the Lord God said to the serpent,"Because you have done this, "Cursedare you above all the livestock and allthe wild animals! You will crawl on yourbelly and you will eat dust all the days ofyour life.15 And I will put enmity between you andthe woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, andyou will strike his heel."16 To the woman he said, "I will greatlyincrease your pains in childbearing; withpain you will give birth to children. Yourdesire will be for your husband, and hewill rule over you."17 To Adam he said, "Because youlistened to your wife and ate from thetree about which I commanded you,'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is theground because of you; through painfultoil you will eat of it all the days of yourlife.18 It will produce thorns and thistles foryou, and you will eat the plants of thefield.19 By the sweat of your brow you will eatyour food until you return to the ground,since from it you were taken; for dustyou are and to dust you will return."20 Adam named his wife Eve, becauseshe would become the mother of all theliving.21 The Lord God made garments of skinfor Adam and his wife and clothed them.22 And the Lord God said, "The man hasnow become like one of us, knowinggood and evil. He must not be allowedto reach out his hand and take also fromthe tree of life and eat, and live forever."23 So the Lord God banished him fromthe Garden of Eden to work the groundfrom which he had been taken.24 After he drove the man out, he placedon the east side of the Garden of Edencherubim and a flaming sword flashingback and forth to guard the way to thetree of life.
