Genesis 3:14-24

14So the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559 toH413 the serpentH5175:

“BecauseH3588 you have doneH6213 thisH2063,cursedH779 are youH859 above allH3605 livestockH929and everyH3605 beastH2416 of the fieldH7704!OnH5921 your bellyH1512 will you goH1980,and dustH6083 you will eatH398,allH3605 the daysH3117 of your lifeH2416.15AndH996 I will putH7896 enmityH342 betweenH996 you and the womanH802,and betweenH996 your seedH2233 H996 and her seedH2233.HeH1931 will crushH7779 your headH7218,and youH859 will strikeH7779 his heelH6119.1”

16ToH413 the womanH802 He saidH559:

“I will sharply increaseH7235 your painH6093 in childbirthH2032;in painH6089 you will bring forthH3205 childrenH1121.Your desireH8669 will be forH413 your husbandH376,2and heH1931 will ruleH4910 over you.”

17And to AdamH121 He saidH559:

“BecauseH3588 you have listenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 ofH4480 your wifeH802and have eatenH398 from the treeH6086of whichH834 I commandedH6680 H559 you notH3808 to eatH398 ,cursedH779 is the groundH127 because of youH5668;through toilH6093 you will eat of itH398allH3605 the daysH3117 of your lifeH2416.18Both thornsH6975 and thistlesH1863 it will yieldH6779 for you,and you will eatH398 the plantsH6212 of the fieldH7704.19By the sweatH2188 of your browH639you will eatH398 your breadH3899,untilH5704 you returnH7725 toH413 the groundH127—becauseH3588 out of itH4480 were you takenH3947.ForH3588 dustH6083 youH859 are,and toH413 dustH6083 you shall returnH7725.”

20And AdamH120 namedH7121 H8034 his wifeH802 EveH2332,3 becauseH3588 sheH1931 would beH1961 the motherH517 of allH3605 the livingH2416.

21And the LORDH3068 GodH430 madeH6213 garmentsH3801 of skinH5785 for AdamH121 and his wifeH802, and He clothed themH3847.

22Then the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559, “BeholdH2005, the manH120 has becomeH1961 like oneH259 of UsH4480, knowingH3045 goodH2896 and evilH7451. And nowH6258, lestH6435 he reach outH7971 his handH3027 and takeH3947 alsoH1571 from the treeH6086 of lifeH2416, and eatH398, and liveH2421 foreverH5769...”

23Therefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 banished himH7971 from the GardenH1588 of EdenH5731 to workH5647 the groundH127 from whichH834 he had been takenH3947 . 24So He drove outH1644 the manH120 andH853 stationedH7931 cherubimH3742 on the east sideH6924 of the GardenH1588 of EdenH5731, along withH853 a whirlingH2015 swordH2719 of flameH3858 to guardH8104 the wayH1870 to the treeH6086 of lifeH2416.
