Genesis 3
The Fall
1Now athe serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You ▼▼In Hebrew you is plural in verses 1–5
shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” 2And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3but God said, c‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4 dBut the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6So 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, ▼▼Or to give insight
she took of its fruit fand ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, gand he ate. 7 hThen the eyes of both were opened, iand they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths. 8And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool ▼▼Hebrew wind
of the day, and the man and his wife khid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” ▼▼In Hebrew you is singular in verses 9 and 11
10And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, mbecause I was naked, and I hid myself.” 11He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12The man said, n“The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” 13Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, o“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” 14The Lord God said to the serpent,“Because you have done this,cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
and pdust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
15I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring ▼
▼Hebrew seed; so throughout Genesis
and rher offspring;she shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”
16To the woman he said,“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;
tin pain you shall bring forth children.
uYour desire shall be for ▼
▼Or to, or toward, or against (see 4:7)
your husband,and he shall wrule over you.”
17And to Adam he said,“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
xof which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
ycursed is the ground because of you;
zin pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
aafor you are dust,
and abto dust you shall return.”
20The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. ▼ 21And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. 22Then the Lord God said, ad“Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand aeand take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—” 23therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden afto work the ground from which he was taken. 24He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the agcherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.
