¹ And the serpent was more· cunning ·than any wild·​·animal of the field which Jehovah God had made; and he said to^▵ the woman, Yea, has God said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

² And the woman said to^▵ the serpent, Of the fruit of the tree of the garden we may eat;

³ but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.

⁴ And the serpent said to^▵ the woman: Dying you shall· not ·die.

⁵ For God knows that in the day you eat of it, then your eyes shall be opened^◦, and you shall be as God, knowing good and evil.

⁶ And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it^◦ was appealing to the eyes, and the tree was desirable to make· one ·intelligent, and she took from its fruit and did eat, and she gave also to her man^◦ with her, and he did eat.

⁷ And the eyes of the two of them were opened^◦, and they knew that they^◦ were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made girdles for themselves.

⁸ And they heard the voice of Jehovah God going^◦ to itself in the garden in the wind of the day; and man and his wife hid·​·themselves from the face of Jehovah God in the midst of the tree of the garden.

⁹ And Jehovah God called to^▵ man, and said to him, Where^◦ art thou?

¹⁰ And he said, I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I feared, for I^▵ was naked; and I hid·​·myself.

¹¹ And He said, Who told thee that thou^◦ wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not^▵ to eat?

¹² And man said, The woman whom Thou gavest to be with·​·me, she^◦ gave to me from the tree, and I ate.

¹³ And Jehovah God said to the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I ate.

¹⁴ And Jehovah God said to^▵ the serpent, Because^◦ thou hast done this, thou^◦ art cursed more·​·than every beast, and more·​·than every wild·​·animal of the field; on thy belly^◦ shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

¹⁵ And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; He^◦ shall injure^* thy head, and thou^◦ shalt injure His heel.

¹⁶ And to^▵ the woman He said, Multiplying I will multiply thy grief and thy conception; in grief thou shalt bring·​·forth^◦ sons, and thy desire^◦* shall be to^▵ thy man^◦, and he^◦ shall rule over^◦ thee.

¹⁷ And to man He said, Because^◦ thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten from the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat from it; cursed is the ground on^◦ account of thee; in great grief shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.

¹⁸ And the thorn and the thistle it shall make grow for thee, and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.

¹⁹ By the sweat of thy brow^◦ shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to^▵ the ground; for out·​·of it wast thou taken; for dust thou^◦ art, and to^▵ dust shalt thou return.

²⁰ And man called the name of his wife Eve^*, for she^◦ was the mother of all the living^*.

²¹ And Jehovah God made for man and for his wife tunics of skin, and clothed them.

²² And Jehovah God said, Behold, man was as one of us^*, knowing good and evil; and now lest he put·​·forth^◦ his hand, and take also of the tree of lives, and eat, and live to eternity—

²³ and Jehovah God sent· him ·out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

²⁴ And He drove·​·out man; and He caused cherubim to abide^◦ from the east toward^◦ the garden of Eden, and the flame^◦ of the sword turning itself, to keep the way of the tree of lives.

¹ Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'"

² The woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,

³ but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"

⁴ The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,

⁵ for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

⁶ 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 some to her husband with her, and he ate.

⁷ The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

⁸ 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.

⁹ Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"

¹⁰ The man said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

¹¹ God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

¹² The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."

¹³ Yahweh God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."

¹⁴ Yahweh God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

¹⁵ I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."

¹⁶ To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."

¹⁷ To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

¹⁸ Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.

¹⁹ By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

²⁰ The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

²¹ Yahweh God made coats of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.

²² Yahweh God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he put forth his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever..."

²³ Therefore Yahweh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

²⁴ So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
