Genesis 3

3:1But the serpent was most skilled of all the wild beasts, of the ones upon the earth whom the lord God made. And the serpent said to the woman, For why said God, No way should you eat from all of a tree of the paradise?

3:2And the woman said, From fruit of the tree of the paradise we shall eat;

3:3but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the paradise, God said, Eat not from it, nor touch it! that you should not die.

3:4And the serpent said to the woman, Not to death will you die.

3:5For God knows that in which ever day you should eat of it, your eyes will be opened wide, and you will be as gods, knowing good and evil.

3:6And the woman beheld that the tree is good for food, and that it is pleasing to the eyes to behold, and is beautiful for contemplating. And having taken the fruit of it, she ate, and she gave also to her husband with her, and they ate.

3:7And the eyes of the two were opened wide, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed leaves of a fig-tree, and made to themselves loincloths.

3:8And they heard the voice of the lord God walking in the paradise at dusk. And both Adam and his wife hid from the face of the lord God in the midst of the tree of the paradise.

3:9And God called Adam, and said to him, Adam, Where are you?

3:10And he said to him, I heard your voice while walking in the paradise, and I feared, for I am naked, and I hid.

3:11And God said to him, Who announced to you that you are naked, unless from the tree of which I gave charge to you, saying, This alone you are not to eat from it -- you ate.

3:12And Adam said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave to me from the tree, and I ate.

3:13And the lord God said to the woman, What is this you did? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

3:14And the lord God said to the serpent, Because you did this, accursed are you from all the cattle, and from all the wild beasts of the ones upon the earth. Upon your breast and belly you shall go, and earth you shall eat all the days of your life.

3:15And I will put hatred between you and between the woman; and between your seed and between her seed. He will give heed to your head, and you will give heed to his heel.

3:16And to the woman he said, In multiplying I will multiply your distresses, and your moanings. In distresses you will bear children, and to your husband your submission, and he will dominate you.

3:17And to Adam he said, Because you hearkened to the voice of your wife, and ate from the tree of which I gave charge to you, saying, This alone you are not to eat from it -- and you ate; accursed is the land among your works; in distresses you will eat it all the days of your life.

3:18Thorn-bushes and thistles will rise to you, and you will eat the grass of the field.

3:19By sweat of your face you will eat your bread, until the returning you into the earth from out of which you were taken. For earth you are and unto earth you will go.

3:20And Adam called the name of his wife, Zoe, for she was mother of all the living.

3:21And the lord God made to Adam and his wife garments of skins, and he clothed them.

3:22And God said, Behold, Adam has become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest at any time he might stretch out the hand, and should take from the tree of life, and should eat, and will live into the eon --

3:23that the lord God ejected him from the paradise of the delicacy, to work the earth from which he was taken.

3:24And he cast out Adam, and settled him before the paradise of the delicacy, and ordered the cherubim, and the flaming turning broadsword, to guard the way of the tree of life.
