| 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? |
| 3:2 |
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of
the fruit of the trees of the garden: |
| 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. |
| 3:4 |
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not
surely die: |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 3:9 |
And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him,
Where art thou? |
| 3:10 |
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I
was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. |
| 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? |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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: |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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; |
| 3:18 |
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to
thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; |
| 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. |
| 3:20 |
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was
the mother of all living. |
| 3:21 |
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make
coats of skins, and clothed them. |
| 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: |
| 3:23 |
Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden
of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. |
| 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. |
