* Now , the serpent , was more crafty than any living thing of the field which Yahweh God had made , so he said unto the woman , Can it really be that God hath said , Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden ? * And the woman said unto the serpent , Of the fruit of the trees of the garden , we may eat ; * 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 shall not die , * For God doth know , that in the day ye eat thereof , then shall your eyes be opened , and ye shall become like God , knowing good and evil . * And , when the woman saw that the tree was good for food , and that it was desirable to the eyes and the tree was pleasant to make one knowing , then took she of the fruit thereof , and did eat , and she gave to her husband also , along with her , and he did eat . * Then were opened the eyes of them both , and they knew that , naked , they were , so they tacked together fig-leaves , and made for themselves girdles , * Then heard they the sound of Yahweh God , walking to and fro in the garden at the breeze of the day , so he hid himselfthe man with his wife , from the face of Yahweh God , amid the trees of the garden . * And Yahweh God called unto the man , and said to him , Where art thou ? * And he said , The sound of thee , heard I in the garden , and I was afraid , for , naked , was I , so I hid myself . * And he said , Who told thee that , naked , thou wast ? Of the tree whereof I commanded thee not to eat , hast thou eaten ? * And the man said , The woman whom thou didst put with me , she , gave me of the tree , so I did eat . * Then said Yahweh God to the woman , What is this that thou hast done ? And the woman said , the serpent , deceived me , so I did eat . * Then said Yahweh God unto the serpent Because thou hast done this , Accursed , art thou above every tame-beast , and above every wild-beast of the field , on thy belly , shall thou go , and dust , shalt thou eat all the days of thy life . * And enmity , will I put between thee , and the woman , and between thy seed and her seed , He shall crush thy head , but , thou , shalt crush his heel . * Unto the woman , he said , I will , increase , thy pain of pregnancy , In pain , shalt thou year children , Yet , unto thy husband , shall be thy hinging , Though , he , rule over thee . * And , to the man , he said , Because thou didst hearken to the voice of thy wife , and so didst eat of the tree as to which I commanded thee , saying , Thou shalt not eat of it , Accursed be the ground for thy sake , In pain , shalt thou eat of it , all the days of thy life ; * Thorn also and thistle , shall it shoot forth to thee , when thou hast come to eat of the herb of the field : * In the sweat of thy face , shalt thou eat bread , until thou return to the ground , because therefrom , wast thou taken , For , dust , thou art , And , unto dust , shalt thou return . * So the man called the name of his wife , Eve , in that , she , was made mother of every one living . * And Yahweh God made for the manand for his wifetunics of skin and clothed them . * Then said Yahweh God Lo ! man , hath become like one of us , in respect of knowing good and evil , Now , therefore , lest he thrust forth his hand , and take even of the tree of life , and eat , and live to times age-abiding , * So Yahweh God put him forth from the garden of Eden , to till the ground wherefrom he had been taken . * So he expelled the man , and caused to dwellin front of the garden of Edencherubim and a brandishing swordflame , to keep the way to the tree of life .
