Genesis:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Yahweh God had made .
And he said to the woman ,
has God really said ,
You (
note :){+}(:
note )
will not eat of any tree of the garden ?
*
And the woman said to 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 has said ,
You (
note :){+}(:
note )
will not eat of it ,
neither will you {+}
touch it ,
or else you {+}
will die .
*
And the serpent said to the woman ,
You (
note :){+}(:
note )
will not surely die :
*
for God knows that in the day you (
note :){+}(:
note )
eat of it ,
then your {+}
eyes will be opened ,
and you {+}
will be as God ,
knowing good and evil .
*
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food ,
and that it was a delight to the eyes ,
and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise ,
she took of its fruit ,
and ate ;
and she 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 Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day :
and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden .
*
And Yahweh God called to the man ,
and said to him ,
Where are you ?
*
And he said ,
I heard your voice in the garden ,
and I was afraid ,
because I was naked ;
and I hid myself .
*
And he said ,
Who told you that you were naked ?
Have you eaten of the tree ,
of which I commanded you that you should not eat ?
*
And the man said ,
The woman whom you gave to be with me ,
she gave me of the tree ,
and I ate .
*
And Yahweh God said to the woman ,
What is this you have done ?
And the woman said ,
The serpent beguiled me ,
and I ate .
*
And Yahweh God said to the serpent ,
Because you have done this ,
cursed are you above all cattle ,
and above every beast of the field ;
on your belly you will go ,
and dust you will eat all the days of your life :
*
and I will put enmity between you and the woman ,
and between your seed and her seed :
he will bruise your head ,
and you will bruise his heel .
*
To the woman he said ,
I will greatly multiply your pain and your conception ;
in pain you will bring forth sons ;
and your desire will be to your husband ,
and he will rule over you .
*
And to Adam he said ,
Because you have listened to the voice of your wife ,
and have eaten of the tree ,
of which I commanded you ,
saying ,
You will not eat of it :
cursed is the ground for your sake ;
in toil you will eat of it all the days of your life ;
*
thorns also and thistles it will bring forth to you ;
and you will eat the herb of the field ;
*
in the sweat of your face you will eat bread ,
until you return to the ground ;
for out of it were you taken :
for dust you are ,
and to dust you will return .
*
And the man called his wife '
s name Eve ;
because she was the mother of all living .
*
And Yahweh God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins ,
and clothed them .
*
And Yahweh God said ,
Look ,
the man has become as one of us ,
to know good and evil ;
and now ,
so that he doesn '
t put forth his hand ,
and take also of the tree of life ,
and eat ,
and live forever --
*
therefore Yahweh 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 caused the Cherubim ,
and the flame of a sword which turned every way ,
to stay at the east of the garden of Eden to keep the way of the tree of life .
