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.
