Genesis 3:17-23

17Then to the man He said, “Because you listened to your wife’s voice and ate of the tree which I commanded you, saying, ‘You must not eat of it’: Cursed is the ground because of you— with pain will you eat of it all the days of your life.

18Thorns and thistles will sprout for you. You will eat the plants of the field,

19By the sweat of your brow will you eat food, until you return to the ground, since from it were you taken. For you are dust, and to dust will you return.”

20Now Adam named his wife Eve because she was the mother of all the living.

21Adonai Elohim made Adam and his wife tunics of skin and He clothed them.

22Then Adonai Elohim said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil. So now, in case he stretches out his hand and takes also from the Tree of Life and eats and lives forever,”

23Adonai Elohim sent him away from the Garden of Eden, to work the ground from which he had been taken.
