Genesis:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the serpent was more crafty than any animal of the field which Jehovah Elohim had made .
And it said to the woman ,
Is it even so ,
that God has said ,
Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden ?
*
And the woman said to the serpent ,
We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden ;
*
but of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden ,
God has said ,
Ye shall not eat of it ,
and ye shall not touch it ,
lest ye die .
*
And the serpent said to the woman ,
Ye will not certainly die ;
*
but God knows that in the day ye eat of it ,
your eyes will be opened ,
and ye will be as God ,
knowing good and evil .
*
And the woman saw that the tree was good for food ,
and that it was a pleasure for the eyes ,
and the tree was to be desired to give intelligence ;
and she took of its fruit ,
and ate ,
and gave also to her husband with her ,
and he ate .
*
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 Jehovah Elohim ,
walking in the garden in the cool of the day .
And Man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah Elohim ,
in the midst of the trees of the garden .
*
And Jehovah Elohim called to Man ,
and said to him ,
Where art thou ?
*
And he said ,
I heard thy voice in the garden ,
and I feared ,
because I am naked ;
and I hid myself .
*
And he said ,
Who told thee that thou art naked ?
Hast thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not to eat ?
*
And Man said ,
The woman ,
whom thou hast given [
to be ]
with me ,
she gave me of the tree ,
and I ate .
*
And Jehovah Elohim said to the woman ,
What is this thou hast done ?
And the woman said ,
The serpent deceived me ,
and I ate .
*
And Jehovah Elohim said to the serpent ,
Because thou hast done this ,
be thou cursed above all cattle ,
and above every beast of the field .
On thy belly shalt thou go ,
and eat dust all the days of thy life .
*
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman ,
and between thy seed and her seed ;
he shall crush thy head ,
and thou shalt crush his heel .
*
To the woman he said ,
I will greatly increase thy travail and thy pregnancy ;
with pain thou shalt bear children ;
and to thy husband shall be thy desire ,
and he shall rule over thee .
*
And to Adam he said ,
Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife ,
and eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying ,
Thou shalt not eat of it :
cursed be the ground on thy account ;
with toil shalt thou eat [
of ]
it all the days of thy life ;
*
and thorns and thistles shall it yield thee ;
and thou shalt eat the herb of the field .
*
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread ,
until thou return to the ground :
for out of it wast thou taken .
For dust thou art ;
and unto dust shalt thou return .
*
And Man called his wife '
s name Eve ;
because she is the mother of all living .
*
And Jehovah Elohim made Adam and his wife coats of skin ,
and clothed them .
*
And Jehovah Elohim said ,
Behold ,
Man is become as one of us ,
to know good and evil .
And now ,
lest he stretch out his hand ,
and take also of the tree of life ,
and eat ,
and live for ever ...!
*
Therefore Jehovah Elohim sent him forth from the garden of Eden ,
to till the ground from which he was taken .
*
And he drove out Man ;
and he set the Cherubim ,
and the flame of the flashing sword ,
toward the east of the garden of Eden ,
to guard the way to the tree of life .
