3Genesis 3

1Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?’”Select Genesis 3:1

2The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,Select Genesis 3:2

3but not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’”Select Genesis 3:3

4The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t surely die,Select Genesis 3:4

5for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”Select Genesis 3:5

6When 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 some of its fruit, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.Select Genesis 3:6

7Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.Select Genesis 3:7

8They heard the voice of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.Select Genesis 3:8

9Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”Select Genesis 3:9

10The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.”Select Genesis 3:10

11God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”Select Genesis 3:11

12The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”Select Genesis 3:12

13Yahweh God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”Select Genesis 3:13

14Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.Select Genesis 3:14

15I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”Select Genesis 3:15

16To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bear children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”Select Genesis 3:16

17To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and ate from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labor all the days of your life.Select Genesis 3:17

18It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.Select Genesis 3:18

19By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”Select Genesis 3:19

20The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.Select Genesis 3:20

21Yahweh God made coats of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.Select Genesis 3:21

22Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”Select Genesis 3:22

23Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.Select Genesis 3:23

24So he drove out the man; and he placed cherubim/f + cherubim are powerful angelic creatures, messengers of God with wings. See Ezekiel 10./f* at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.Select Genesis 3:24
