1 耶和华所造的,惟有比田野一切的活物更狡猾。女人岂是真不许你们园中所有上的果子麽?

2 女人:园中上的果子,我们可以

3 惟有园当中那棵上的果子,:你们不可,也不可摸,免得你们

4 女人:你们不一定

5 因为知道,你们的日子眼睛就明亮了,你们便如知道善恶。

6 於是女人见那棵的果子作食物,也悦人的眼目,且是可喜爱的,能使人有智慧,就摘下果子来吃了,又丈夫,他丈夫吃了

7 他们人的眼睛就明亮了,才知道自己是赤身露体,便拿无花果树子为自己编作裙子。

8 起了凉耶和华在园中行走。那人和他妻子声音,就藏在园里的树木中,躲避耶和华的面。

9 耶和华呼唤那人,对他:你在那里?

10 :我在园中见你的声音,我就害怕;因为我赤身露体,我便藏了。

11 耶和华:谁告诉你赤身露体呢?莫非你吃了我吩咐你不可的那上的果子吗?

12 那人:你所赐我与我同居的女人,他把那上的果子我,我就吃了

13 耶和华女人:你作的是甚麽事呢?女人:那引诱我,我就吃了

14 耶和华:你既作了这事,就必受咒诅,比一切的牲畜野兽更甚。你必用肚子行走,终身土。

15 我又要叫你和女人彼此为仇;你的後裔和女人的後裔也彼此为仇。女人的後裔要伤你的;你要伤他的脚跟

16 又对女人:我必多多加增你怀胎的苦楚;你生产儿女必多受苦楚。你必恋慕你丈夫;你丈夫必管辖你。

17 又对亚当:你既听从妻子的话,吃了我所吩咐你不可的那上的果子,地必为你的缘故受咒诅;你必终身劳苦才能从地里得的。

18 地必给你长出荆棘和蒺藜来;你也要田间的菜蔬。

19 你必汗流满面才得糊口,直到你归了土,因为你是从土而出的。你本是尘土,仍要归於尘土

20 亚当给他妻子起名夏娃,因为他是众生之母。

21 耶和华为亚当和他妻子子作衣服给他们穿。

22 耶和华:那人已经与我们相似,能知道善恶;现在恐怕他伸又摘生命的果子,就永远活着。

23 耶和华便打发他出伊甸园去,耕种他所自出之土。

24 於是把他赶出去了;又在伊甸园的东边安设基路伯和四面动发火焰的,要把守生命道路

227. But seeing that the origin of perception, dictate, and conscience needs to be known, it being totally unknown at the present day, let some reference be made to it here. It is a momentous truth that the Lord governs man by means of spirits and angels. When evil spirits start to have dominion, angels set to work to ward off evils and falsities, as a consequence of which conflict arises. And it is by means of perception, dictate, and conscience that a person comes to feel this conflict. These, together with temptations, make it possible for a person to become plainly aware of the fact that spirits and angels are residing with him, provided he is not so totally engrossed in bodily interests that he believes nothing he is told about spirits and angels. Consequently if such people were to experience conflict a hundred times over they would still call them delusions and the result of some mental disturbance. I have been allowed almost constantly for several years now to experience thousands of times these conflicts and the resultant feeling, and also to know who those spirits and angels were, what they were like, where they came from, when they arrived, and when they went away; and I have talked to them.
