Genesis 3:1–20
The Temptation and Fall of Man
3 Now athe serpent was bmore cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the cfruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you dtouch it, lest you die.’ ”
4 eThen the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 So when the woman fsaw that the tree was good for food, that it was 1pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit gand ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, hand they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves 2coverings.
8 And they heard ithe 3sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the 4cool of the day, and Adam and his wife jhid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9 Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, kand I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”
12 Then the man said, l“The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, m“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:
“Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And nyou shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
Between you and the woman,
And between oyour seed and pher Seed;
qHe shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
rIn pain you shall bring forth children;
sYour desire shall be 5for your husband,
And he shall trule over you.”
17 Then to Adam He said, u“Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree vof which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
w“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
xIn toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall 6bring forth for you,
And yyou shall eat the herb of the field.
19 zIn the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
aFor dust you are,
And bto dust you shall return.”
20 And Adam called his wife’s name cEve, 7because she was the mother of all living.
