17And to AdamH121 He saidH559:

“BecauseH3588 you have listenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 ofH4480 your wifeH802and have eatenH398 from the treeH6086of whichH834 I commandedH6680H559 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 namedH7121H8034 his wifeH802 EveH2332,1 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.

Notes

  1. 1. Genesis 3:20 Eve sounds like the Hebrew for giving life or living. ↩
