¹ Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, yes, has God said, you will not eat of every tree of the garden? ² And the woman said to 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 has said, you will not eat of it, neither will you touch it, in case you die. ⁴ And the serpent said to the woman, you will not surely die ⁵ For God does know that in the day you eat of it, then your eyes will be opened, and you will 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 of it, and did eat, and gave also to 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 to Adam, and said to him, Where are you? ¹⁰ And he said, I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. ¹¹ And he said, Who told you that you were naked? have you eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded you that you should not eat? ¹² And the man said, The woman who you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. ¹³ And the LORD God said to the woman, What is this that you have done ? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I did eat. ¹⁴ And the LORD God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; on your belly will you go, and dust will you eat all the days of your life ¹⁵ And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel. ¹⁶ Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in sorrow you will bring forward children; and your desire will be to your husband, and he will rule over you. ¹⁷ And to Adam he said, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, you will not eat of it: cursed is the ground for your sake; in sorrow will you eat of it all the days of your life; ¹⁸ Thorns also and thistles will it bring forward to you and you will eat the herb of the field ¹⁹ In the sweat of your face will you eat bread, till you return to the ground; for out of it were you taken: for dust you are, and to dust will you 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, See, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, in case he put forward his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever ²³ Therefore the LORD God sent him forward from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from where 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.
