Genesis 3
1The serpent was more shrewd than every wild animal of the field that Yahweh God had made. It said to the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat from any tree in the garden?” 2The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the garden's trees. 3But about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God said, ‘You must not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’” 4The serpent said to the woman, “You certainly will not die! 5For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will open, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6The woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable for gaining insight. She took some of its fruit and ate. She also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate. 7Both their eyes opened, and they knew they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together and made themselves waist coverings.
8They heard Yahweh God moving about in the garden in the day's breeze. The human and his wife hid among the garden's trees, away from Yahweh God. 9Yahweh God called to the human, asking him, “Where are you?” 10He answered, “I heard you in the garden and was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.” 11He asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree I commanded you not to eat from?” 12The human answered, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate.” 13Yahweh God asked the woman, “What have you done?” The woman answered, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed beyond all livestock and all the wild animals of the field. You will travel on your belly and eat dust throughout your life. 15I will establish hostility between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.”
16To the woman he said, “I will greatly increase your painful toil and your pregnancies. In pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
17To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from, the ground is cursed because of you. Through painful toil you will eat from it throughout your life. 18It will grow thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19With sweat on your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, since you were taken from it. You are dust, and to dust you will return.”
20The human named his wife Eve because she was the mother of everyone living. 21Yahweh God made skin tunics for Adam and his wife and clothed them. 22Yahweh God said, “Look, the human has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. And now, lest he reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, eat, and live forever—” 23So Yahweh God sent him out of the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24He drove the human out and stationed the cherubim east of the garden of Eden, along with the flame of a sword turning this way and that, to guard the route to the tree of life.
