Genesis



Genesis, Chapter 3


Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, [Is it] so that God has said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?


And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden.

But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the middle of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.


And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die,


for God knows that in the day you eat of it, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.


And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food. and that it was pleasing to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make wise, she took of its fruit, and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.


And the eyes of both of them were opened. And they knew that they [were] naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made girdles for themselves.

And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God in the middle of the trees of the garden.


And the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, Where [are] you?


And he said, I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I [am] naked, and I hid myself.


And He said, Who told you that you [were] naked? Have you eaten of the tree which I commanded you that you should not eat?

And the man said, The woman whom You gave [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.


And the LORD God said to the woman, What [is] this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

And the LORD God said to the serpent, Because you have done this you [are] cursed more than all cattle, and more than every animal of the field. You shall go upon your belly, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.


And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.
