Genesis 3:17-23

17And to the man he said, “Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it.

18It will grow thorns and thistles for you, though you will eat of its grains.

19By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return.”

20Then the man—Adam—named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all who live.

21And the Lord God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife.

22Then the Lord God said, “Look, the human beings have become like us, knowing both good and evil. What if they reach out, take fruit from the tree of life, and eat it? Then they will live forever!”

23So the Lord God banished them from the Garden of Eden, and he sent Adam out to cultivate the ground from which he had been made.
