Revised Version 1895
1NowH1961 the serpentH5175 was moreH637 subtil thanH3808 anyH3605 beastH2416 of the fieldH7704 whichH834 the LORDH3068 GodH430 had madeH6213. And he saidH559 unto the womanH802, YeaH3588, hath GodH430 saidH559, Ye shall notH3808 eatH398 of anyH3605 treeH6086 of the gardenH1588? 2And the womanH802 saidH559 unto the serpentH5175, Of the fruitH6529 of the treesH6086 of the gardenH1588 we may eatH398: 3but of the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086 whichH834 is in the midstH8432 of the gardenH1588, GodH430 hath saidH559, Ye shall notH3808 eatH398 of it, neitherH3808 shall ye touchH5060 it, lestH6435 ye dieH4191. 4And the serpentH5175 saidH559 unto the womanH802, Ye shall notH3808 surelyH4191 dieH4191: 5for GodH430 doth knowH3045 that in the dayH3117 ye eatH398 thereof, then your eyesH5869 shall be openedH6491, and ye shall be as GodH430, knowingH3045 goodH2896 and evilH7451. 6And when the womanH802 sawH7200 that the treeH6086 was goodH2896 for foodH3978, and that it was a delightH2530 to the eyesH5869, and that the treeH6086 was to be desiredH2530 to makeH5414 one wiseH7919, sheH1931 tookH3947 of the fruitH6529 thereof, and didH376 eatH398; and sheH1931 gaveH5414 also unto herH3947 husbandH376 with herH3947, and he didH376 eatH398. 7And the eyesH5869 of them bothH8147 were openedH6491, and they knewH3045 that they were nakedH5903; and they sewedH8609 figH8384 leavesH5929 togetherH8609, and madeH6213 themselvesH1992 aprons. 8And they heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 walkingH1980 in the gardenH1588 in the coolH7307 of the dayH3117: and the manH120 and his wifeH802 hidH2244 themselvesH2244 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 amongst the treesH6086 of the gardenH1588. 9And the LORDH3068 GodH430 calledH7121 unto the manH120, and saidH559 unto him, WhereH335 art thou? 10And he saidH559, I heardH8085 thy voiceH6963 in the gardenH1588, and I was afraidH3372, becauseH3588 I was nakedH5903; and I hidH2244 myselfH595. 11And he saidH559, Who toldH5046 thee that thou wast nakedH5903? Hast thou eatenH398 of the treeH6086, whereof I commandedH6680 thee that thou shouldest notH1115 eatH398? 12And the manH120 saidH559, The womanH802 whomH834 thou gavest to be with meH5414, sheH1931 gaveH5414 meH5414 of the treeH6086, and I didH834 eatH398. 13And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559 unto the womanH802, WhatH4100 is this thou hast doneH6213? And the womanH802 saidH559, The serpentH5175 beguiled meH398, and I didH6213 eatH398. 14And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559 unto the serpentH5175, BecauseH3588 thou hast doneH6213 this, cursedH779 art thou aboveH5921 allH3605 cattleH929, and aboveH5921 everyH3605 beastH929 of the fieldH7704; uponH5921 thy bellyH1512 shalt thou go, and dustH6083 shalt thou eatH398 allH3605 the daysH3117 of thy lifeH3117: 15and I will putH7896 enmityH342 betweenH996 thee and the womanH802, and betweenH996 thy seedH2233 and herH802 seedH2233: it shall bruiseH7779 thy headH7218, and thou shalt bruiseH7779 his heelH6119. 16Unto the womanH802 he saidH559, I will greatlyH7235 multiplyH7235 thy sorrow and thy conceptionH2032; in sorrow thou shalt bringH3205 forthH3205 childrenH1121; and thy desireH8669 shall be to thy husbandH376, and he shall ruleH4910 over thee. 17And unto AdamH121 he saidH559, BecauseH3588 thou hast hearkened unto the voiceH6963 of thy wifeH802, and hast eatenH398 of the treeH6086, of whichH834 I commandedH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt notH3808 eatH398 of it: cursedH779 is the groundH127 for thy sakeH5668; in toilH6093 shalt thou eatH398 of it allH3605 the daysH3117 of thy lifeH3117; 18thornsH6975 also and thistlesH1863 shall it bring forthH6779 to thee; and thou shalt eatH398 the herbH6212 of the fieldH7704; 19in the sweatH2188 of thy faceH639 shalt thou eatH398 breadH3899, tillH5704 thou returnH7725 unto the groundH127; for outH4480 of it wast thou takenH3947: for dustH6083 thou art, and unto dustH6083 shalt thou returnH7725. 20And the manH120 calledH7121 his wife’sH802 nameH8034 EveH2332; becauseH3588 sheH1931 was the motherH517 of allH3605 livingH2416. 21And the LORDH3068 GodH430 madeH6213 for Adam and for his wifeH802 coats of skinsH5785, and clothedH3847 them. 22And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559, BeholdH2005, the manH120 is becomeH1961 as one of usH3045, to knowH3045 goodH2896 and evilH7451; and nowH6258, lestH6435 he putH7971 forthH7971 his handH3027, and takeH3947 also of the treeH6086 of lifeH2416, and eatH398, and liveH2416 for everH5769: 23therefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 sentH7971 him forthH7971 from the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731, to tillH5647 the groundH127 from whence he was takenH3947. 24SoH853 he droveH1644 outH1644 the manH120; and he placed at the eastH6924 of the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 the CherubimH3742, and the flame of a swordH2719 whichH2719 turnedH2015 every wayH1870, to keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the treeH6086 of lifeH2416.
