Genesis 3

¹Now the serpent was the cleverest of all the living creatures of the field that the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman: Is it indeed so that God said, you all may not eat from any tree of the garden?

²And the woman said to the serpent: From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat.

³but of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God said: you all may not eat from it, and you all may not touch it, lest you all die.

⁴And the serpent said to the woman: Dying you all will not die.

⁵for God knows that on the day you all eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you all will be as God, knowing good and bad.

⁶And the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was a desire to the eyes and that the tree was desirable to give insight, and she took from its fruit and she ate. And she gave also to her man who was with her, and he ate.

⁷And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves and made themselves coverings.

⁸And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking about in the garden at the wind of the day. And the man and his woman hid from the face of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

⁹And the Lord God called to the man, and said to him: Where are you?

¹⁰And he said: Your voice I heard in the garden, and I feared because I am naked, and I hid.

¹¹And he said: Who told you that you are naked? From the tree which I commanded you not to eat from it — did you eat?

¹²And the man said: The woman whom you gave to be with me — she gave to me from the tree, and I ate.

¹³And the Lord God said to the woman: What is this you have done? And the woman said: The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

¹⁴And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because you did this, cursed are you from all the cattle and from all the living creatures of the field. On your belly you shall walk, and dust you will eat all the days of your life.

¹⁵And enmity I will set between you and between the woman, and between your seed and between her seed; he, he will crush you on the head, and you, you will crush him on the heel.

¹⁶To the woman he said: Greatly multiplying I will multiply your toil and your conception; in toil you shall bear children. And to your man will be your desire, and as for him, he will rule over you.

¹⁷And to Adam he said: Because you heeded your wife's voice, and you ate from the tree concerning which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it' — cursed is the ground on your account. In toil you shall eat from it all the days of your life.

¹⁸And thorns and thistles it will cause to sprout for you, and you shall eat the vegetation of the field.

¹⁹By the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread, until you return to the ground, for from it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.

²⁰And the man called the name of his woman Havah, for she, she was the mother of all living.

²¹And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife tunics of skin, and clothed them.

²²And the Lord God said: Look, the human has become like one of us, knowing good and bad. And now lest he put forth his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever —

²³And the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he was taken.

²⁴And he drove out the man. And he stationed to the east of the garden of Eden the cherubim and the flame of the turning sword to guard the way to the tree of life.
