GE-3:1  Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the

field

which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea,

hath God

said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

GE-3:2  And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the

fruit

of the trees of the garden:

GE-3:3  But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of

the

garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye

touch

it, lest ye die.

GE-3:4  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely

die:

GE-3:5  For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then

your

eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and

evil.

GE-3:6  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 thereof, and did eat, and gave

also

unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

GE-3:7  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.

GE-3:8  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.

GE-3:9  And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him,

Where

[art] thou?

GE-3:10  And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was

afraid, because I [was] naked; and I hid myself.

GE-3:11  And he said, Who told thee that thou [wast] naked? Hast

thou

eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest

not

eat?

GE-3:12  And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest [to be]

with me,

she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

GE-3:13  And the LORD God said unto the woman, What [is] this

[that]

thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and

I did

eat.

GE-3:14  And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou

hast

done this, thou [art] cursed above all cattle, and above every

beast

of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou

eat

all the days of thy life:

GE-3:15  And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and

between

thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt

bruise

his heel.

GE-3:16  Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy

sorrow

and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;

and thy

desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

GE-3:17  And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto

the

voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I

commanded

thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is] the ground

for thy

sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;

GE-3:18  Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;

and

thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

GE-3:19  In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou

return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust

thou

[art], and unto dust shalt thou return.

GE-3:20  And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the

mother of all living.

GE-3:21  Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make

coats of

skins, and clothed them.

GE-3:22  And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is 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 for ever:

GE-3:23  Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of

Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

GE-3:24  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.
