Genesis 3:8–24

⁸And 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. ⁹And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? ¹⁰And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. ¹¹And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? ¹²And the man said, ^fThe woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. ¹³And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, ^gThe serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. ¹⁴And 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 ^hdust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: ¹⁵and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and ⁱher seed; ^kit shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. ¹⁶Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; ^land thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall ^mrule over thee. ¹⁷And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, ⁿof which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: ^ocursed is the ground for thy sake; ^pin sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; ¹⁸thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; ¹⁹in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: ^qfor dust thou art, and ^runto dust shalt thou return. ²⁰And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. ²¹Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them. ²²And the Lord God said, ^sBehold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, ^tand take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: ²³therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. ²⁴So he drove out the man; and he placed ^uat the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword ^xwhich turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
