1 Now the R67 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 F60 tree of the garden'?" 2 The woman said to the serpent, "From R68 the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; 3 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 The R69 serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die! 5 "For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you R70 will be like God, knowing good and evil." 6 When R71 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 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew R72 that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin F61 coverings.
8 They heard the sound of the R73 LORD God walking in the garden in the cool F62 of the day, and R74 the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 Then the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, "Where R75 are you?" 10 He said, "I R76 heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself." 11 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 The R77 man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate." 13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" And the woman said, "The R78 serpent deceived me, and I ate." 14 The LORD God said to the serpent,
"Because R79 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 R80 you will eat
All the days of your life;
16 To the woman He said,
"I will greatly multiply
Your pain in F64 childbirth,
In pain you will bring R83 forth children;
Yet your desire will be for your husband,
And he R84 will rule over you." 17 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 R85 is the ground because of you;
In R86 toil F65 you will eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 "Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you;
20 Now the man called his wife's name Eve, R89F67 because she was the mother of all the living. 21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
22 Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, R90 knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the R91 tree of life, and eat, and live forever"-- 23 therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. 24 So He R92 drove the man out; and at the east R93 of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim R94 and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the R95 tree of life.
