“I will greatly increase
⌊your pain in childbearing⌋;u
in pain you shall bear children.
And to your husband shall be your desire.
And he shall rule over you.”
17 And to Adamv he said, “Because you listened to the voice of your wife and you ate from the tree ⌊from which I forbade you to eat⌋,w
the ground shall be cursed on your account.
In pain you shall eat from it
all the days of your life.
18 And thorns and thistles shall sprout for you,
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your browx
you shall eat bread,
until your return to the ground.
For from it you were taken;
for you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.”
