1 Now the ser­pent was more sub­til 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? 2 And the wom­an said unto the ser­pent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the gar­den: 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. 4 And the ser­pent said unto the wom­an, Ye shall not sure­ly die: 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. 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. 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. 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. 9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the gar­den, and I was afraid, be­cause I was naked; and I hid my­self. 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? 12 And the man said, The wom­an whom thou gavest ­to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 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. 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: 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. 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. 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; 18 Thorns also and this­tles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 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. 20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; be­cause she was the moth­er of all liv­ing. 21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. 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: 23 There­fore the LORD God sent him forth from the gar­den of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was tak­en. 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.
