Genesis 3:8-21

8Now they heard the sound of 1the Lord God walking in the garden in the 2cool of the day, 3and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “4Where are you?” 10He said, “5I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.” 11And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 6The man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me some of the fruit of the tree, and I ate.” 13Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” And the woman said, “7The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” 14Then the Lord God said to the serpent, “8Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all the livestock, And more than any animal of the field; On your belly you shall go, And 9dust you shall eat All the days of your life;15And I will 10 11make enemies Of you and the woman, And of your 12offspring and her 13Descendant; 14He shall 15bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise Him on the heel.” 16To the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply Your pain 16in childbirth, In pain you shall 17deliver children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And 18he shall rule over you.” 17Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’; 19Cursed is the ground because of you; 20With 21hard labor you shall eat from it All the days of your life.18Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; Yet you shall eat the 22plants of the field;19By the sweat of your face You shall eat bread, Until you 23return to the ground, Because 24from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.”

20Now the man named his wife 25 26Eve, because she was the mother of all the living. 21And the Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
