1 A nd 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?'

Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?”

2 A nd the woman saith unto the serpent, `Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,

The woman said to the serpent, “ From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat;

3 a nd 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.'

but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’”

4 A nd the serpent saith unto the woman, `Dying, ye do not die,

The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die!

5 f or 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.'

For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6 A nd 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;

When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.

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

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.

8 A nd 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.

They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

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

Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “ Where are you?”

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

He said, “ I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.”

11 A nd 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?'

And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”

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

The man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate.”

13 A nd 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.'

Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “ The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14 A nd 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;

The Lord God said to the serpent, “ Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life;

15 a nd 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.'

And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.”

16 U nto 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.'

To the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you.”

17 A nd 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,

Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life.

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

“Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field;

19 b y 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.'

By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.”

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

Now the man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.

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

The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.

22 A nd 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,' --

Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”—

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

therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken.

24 y ea, 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.

So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.
