Genesis 3:8-15

8Then the manH120 and his wifeH802 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 walkingH1980 in the gardenH1588 in the breezeH73071 of the dayH3117, and they hid themselvesH2244 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 amongH8432 the treesH6086 of the gardenH1588.

9But the LORDH3068 GodH430 called outH7121 toH413 the manH120, “Where are youH335?”

10“I heardH8085 Your voiceH6963 in the gardenH1588,” he repliedH559, “and I was afraidH3372 becauseH3588 IH595 was nakedH5903; so I hid myselfH2244.”

11“WhoH4310 toldH5046 youH859 thatH3588 you were nakedH5903?” askedH559 the LORD God. “Have you eatenH398 fromH4480 the treeH6086 of whichH834 I commanded youH6680 not toH1115 eatH398?”

12And the manH120 answeredH559, “The womanH802 whomH834 You gaveH5414 meH5978, sheH1931 gaveH5414 me fruit fromH4480 the treeH6086, and I ate itH398.”

13Then the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559 to the womanH802, “WhatH4100 is thisH2063 you have doneH6213?”

“The serpentH5175 deceived meH5377,” she repliedH559, “and I ateH398.”

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 seedH2233H996 and her seedH2233.HeH1931 will crushH7779 your headH7218,and youH859 will strikeH7779 his heelH6119.2”
