1 A nd the serpent was more crafty than any animal of the field which Jehovah Elohim had made. And it said to the woman, Is it even so, that God has said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, `Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of the garden?'

2 A nd the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;

And the woman saith unto the serpent, `Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,

3 b ut of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, and ye shall not touch it, lest ye die.

and of the fruit of the tree which in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.'

4 A nd the serpent said to the woman, Ye will not certainly die;

And the serpent saith unto the woman, `Dying, ye do not die,

5 b ut God knows that in the day ye eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as God, knowing good and evil.

for God doth know that in the day of your eating of it -- your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, knowing good and evil.'

6 A nd the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a pleasure for the eyes, and the tree was to be desired to give intelligence; and she took of its fruit, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.

And the woman seeth that the tree good for food, and that it pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat;

7 A nd the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make to themselves girdles.

8 A nd they heard the voice of Jehovah Elohim, walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah Elohim, in the midst of the trees of the garden.

And they hear the sound of Jehovah God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of Jehovah God in the midst of the trees of the garden.

9 A nd Jehovah Elohim called to Man, and said to him, Where art thou?

And Jehovah God calleth unto the man, and saith to him, `Where thou?'

10 A nd he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I feared, because I am naked; and I hid myself.

and he saith, `Thy sound I have heard in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.'

11 A nd he said, Who told thee that thou art naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee not to eat?

And He saith, `Who hath declared to thee that thou naked? of the tree of which I have commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?'

12 A nd Man said, The woman, whom thou hast given with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.

and the man saith, `The woman whom Thou didst place with me -- she hath given to me of the tree -- and I do eat.'

13 A nd Jehovah Elohim said to the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

And Jehovah God saith to the woman, `What this thou hast done?' and the woman saith, `The serpent hath caused me to forget -- and I do eat.'

14 A nd Jehovah Elohim said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, be thou cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. On thy belly shalt thou go, and eat dust all the days of thy life.

And Jehovah God saith unto the serpent, `Because thou hast done this, cursed thou above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field: on thy belly dost thou go, and dust thou dost eat, all days of thy life;

15 A nd I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall crush thy head, and thou shalt crush his heel.

and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee -- the head, and thou dost bruise him -- the heel.'

16 T o the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy travail and thy pregnancy; with pain thou shalt bear children; and to thy husband shall be thy desire, and he shall rule over thee.

Unto the woman He said, `Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and toward thy husband thy desire, and he doth rule over thee.'

17 A nd to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed be the ground on thy account; with toil shalt thou eat it all the days of thy life;

And to the man He said, `Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and dost eat of the tree concerning which I have charged thee, saying, Thou dost not eat of it, cursed the ground on thine account; in sorrow thou dost eat of it all days of thy life,

18 a nd thorns and thistles shall it yield thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.

and thorn and bramble it doth bring forth to thee, and thou hast eaten the herb of the field;

19 I n the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust thou art; and unto dust shalt thou return.

by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou, and unto dust thou turnest back.'

20 A nd Man called his wife's name Eve; because she is the mother of all living.

And the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living.

21 A nd Jehovah Elohim made Adam and his wife coats of skin, and clothed them.

And Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe them.

22 A nd Jehovah Elohim said, Behold, Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever …!

And Jehovah God saith, `Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,' --

23 T herefore Jehovah Elohim sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he hath been taken;

24 A nd he drove out Man; and he set the Cherubim, and the flame of the flashing sword, toward the east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way to the tree of life.

yea, he casteth out the man, and causeth to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flame of the sword which is turning itself round to guard the way of the tree of life.
