1Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which Yehovah God had made. And he said to the woman, Indeed, has God said, You shall not eat of any tree of the garden? 2And the woman said to the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat: 3but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. 4And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die: 5for God knows that in the day you eat of it, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as God, knowing good and evil. 6And 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 of its fruit, and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. 7And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8And they heard the voice of Yehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yehovah God among the trees of the garden. 9And Yehovah God called to the man, and said to him, Where are you? 10And he said, I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11And he said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you that you should not eat? 12And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate. 13And Yehovah God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate. 14And Yehovah God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life: 15and I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed: he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. 16To the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your pain and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you. 17And 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 shall not eat of it: cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life; 18thorns also and thistles it shall bring forth to you; and you shall eat the herb of the field; 19in the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground; for out of it you were taken: for dust you are, and to dust shall you return. 20And the man called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. 21And Yehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them. 22And Yehovah God said, Behold, the man has 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 forever— 23therefore Yehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken. 24So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
