Genesis 3:14-24

14And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559 to the serpentH5175, Because thouH859 hast doneH6213 this, thou art cursedH779 above all cattleH929, and above every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704; upon thy bellyH1512 shalt thou goH3212, and dustH6083 shalt thou eatH398 all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416: 15And I will putH7896 enmityH342 between thee and the womanH802, and between thy seedH2233 and her seedH2233; it shall bruiseH7779 thy headH7218, and thou shalt bruiseH7779 his heelH6119.

16To the womanH802 he saidH559, I will greatlyH7235 multiplyH7235 thy sorrowH6093 and thy conceptionH2032; in sorrowH6089 thou shalt bring forthH3205 childrenH1121; and thy desireH8669 shall be to thy husbandH376, and he shall ruleH4910 over thee.1

17And to AdamH121 he saidH559, Because thou hast hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of thy wifeH802, and hast eatenH398 of the treeH6086, of whichH834 I commanded theeH6680, sayingH559, Thou shalt not eatH398 of it: cursedH779 is the groundH127 for thy sake; in sorrowH6093 shalt thou eatH398 of it allH3605 the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416; 18Thorns alsoH6975 and thistlesH1863 shall it bring forthH6779 to thee; and thou shalt eatH398 the herbH6212 of the fieldH7704;2 19In the sweatH2188 of thy faceH639 shalt thou eatH398 breadH3899, tillH5704 thou shalt returnH7725 to the groundH127; for out of it wast thou takenH3947: for dustH6083 thouH859 art, and to dustH6083 shalt thou returnH7725.

20And AdamH120 calledH7121 his wife’sH802 nameH8034 EveH2332; because she was the motherH517 of all livingH2416.3

21For AdamH120 also and for his wifeH802 the LORDH3068 GodH430 madeH6213 coatsH3801 of skinsH5785, and clothed themH3847.

22And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559, BeholdH2005, the manH120 hath become as oneH259 of us, to knowH3045 goodH2896 and evilH7451: and now, lest he should put forthH7971 his handH3027, and takeH3947 also of the treeH6086 of lifeH2416, and eatH398, and liveH2425 for everH5769: 23Therefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 sent him forthH7971 from the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731, to tillH5647 the groundH127 from which he was takenH3947. 24So he drove outH1644 the manH120; and he placedH7931 at the eastH6924 of the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 CherubimH3742, and a flamingH3858 swordH2719 which turned every wayH2015, to guardH8104 the wayH1870 of the treeH6086 of lifeH2416.
