And 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. 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.
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.
And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said
unto him,. Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the
garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten
of the tree, where of I commanded thee that
thou shouldest not eat?
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest
to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and
I did eat. 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.
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 they life: 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.
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.
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast
hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and has 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 all the days of thy life; Thorns also
and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat of
the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou
take: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because
she was the mother of all living. Unto Adam also and to his wife
did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed the. 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 forever: Therefore the Lord God sent him forth
from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was
taken. So he drove out the man; and 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.”
