rsv Genesis:3-4

rsv@Genesis:3:1 @ Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God say, `You shall not eat of any tree of the garden'?"

rsv@Genesis:3:2 @ And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;

rsv@Genesis:3:3 @ but God said, `You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"

rsv@Genesis:3:4 @ But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die.

rsv@Genesis:3:5 @ For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

rsv@Genesis:3:6 @ So 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 also gave some to her husband, and he ate.

rsv@Genesis:3:7 @ Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons.

rsv@Genesis:3:8 @ And they heard the sound 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 among the trees of the garden.

rsv@Genesis:3:9 @ But the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"

rsv@Genesis:3:10 @ And he said, "I heard the sound of thee in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

rsv@Genesis:3:11 @ He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"

rsv@Genesis:3:12 @ The man said, "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate."

rsv@Genesis:3:13 @ Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent beguiled me, and I ate."

rsv@Genesis:3:14 @ The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.

rsv@Genesis:3:15 @ I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."

rsv@Genesis:3:16 @ To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."

rsv@Genesis:3:17 @ 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, `You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;

rsv@Genesis:3:18 @ thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.

rsv@Genesis:3:19 @ In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

rsv@Genesis:3:20 @ The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

rsv@Genesis:3:21 @ And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.

rsv@Genesis:3:22 @ Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing 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"--

rsv@Genesis:3:23 @ therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

rsv@Genesis:3:24 @ He drove out the man; and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

rsv@Genesis:4:1 @ Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD."

rsv@Genesis:4:2 @ And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground.

rsv@Genesis:4:3 @ In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground,

rsv@Genesis:4:4 @ and Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering,

rsv@Genesis:4:5 @ but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

rsv@Genesis:4:6 @ The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen?

rsv@Genesis:4:7 @ If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it."

rsv@Genesis:4:8 @ Cain said to Abel his brother, "Let us go out to the field." And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him.

rsv@Genesis:4:9 @ Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"

rsv@Genesis:4:10 @ And the LORD said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.

rsv@Genesis:4:11 @ And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

rsv@Genesis:4:12 @ When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."

rsv@Genesis:4:13 @ Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.

rsv@Genesis:4:14 @ Behold, thou hast driven me this day away from the ground; and from thy face I shall be hidden; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will slay me."

rsv@Genesis:4:15 @ Then the LORD said to him, "Not so! If any one slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest any who came upon him should kill him.

rsv@Genesis:4:16 @ Then Cain went away from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

rsv@Genesis:4:17 @ Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

rsv@Genesis:4:18 @ To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad was the father of Me-hu'ja-el, and Me-hu'ja-el the father of Me-thu'sha-el, and Me-thu'sha-el the father of Lamech.

rsv@Genesis:4:19 @ And Lamech took two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

rsv@Genesis:4:20 @ Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have cattle.

rsv@Genesis:4:21 @ His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.

rsv@Genesis:4:22 @ Zillah bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Na'amah.

rsv@Genesis:4:23 @ Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, hearken to what I say: I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.

rsv@Genesis:4:24 @ If Cain is avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy-sevenfold."

rsv@Genesis:4:25 @ And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, for Cain slew him."

rsv@Genesis:4:26 @ To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time men began to call upon the name of the LORD.

rsv@Genesis:5:1 @ This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.
