* Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made ; and he said unto the woman , Hath God indeed said , Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden ? * And the woman said unto the serpent , We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden ; * 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 . * And the serpent said unto the woman , Ye will surely not die ; * For God doth know , that , on the day ye eat thereof , your eyes will be opened , and ye will be as God , knowing good and evil . * And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food , and that it was pleasant to the eyes , and the tree was desirable to make one wise , she took of its fruit , and did eat , and gave also unto her husband with her , and he did eat . * And the eyes of both of them were opened , and they felt 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 the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden . * And the Lord God called unto the man , and said unto him , Where art thou ? * And he said , Thy voice I heard in the garden ; and I was afraid , because I am naked ; and I hid myself . * And he said , Who told thee that thou art naked ? Hast thou eaten of the tree , whereof 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 , be thou cursed above all the 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 : * And I will put enmity between thee and the woman , and between thy seed and her seed ; he shall bruise thy head , and thou shalt wound his heel . * Unto the woman he said , I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy conception ; in pain shalt thou bring forth children ; and for thy husband shall be thy desire , but he shall rule over thee . * 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 be the ground for thy sake ; in pain shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life . * And thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee ; and thou shalt eat the herbs 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 taken ; for dust thou art , and unto dust shalt thou return . * And the man called his wife ’s name Eve ; because she was the mother of all living . * And the Lord God made unto Adam and to his wife coats of skins , and clothed them . * 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 –– * Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden , to till the ground from which he was taken . * So he drove out the man ; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim , and the flaming sword which revolveth , to guard the way to the tree of life .
