Chapter 3
- 3:1
- Now the
serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God
had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not
eat of every tree of the garden?
- 3:2
- And the
woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of
the garden:
- 3:3
- But of
the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath
said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
- 3:4
- And the
serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
- 3:5
- For God
doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be
opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
- 3:6
- And when
the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she
took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband
with her; and he did eat.
- 3:7
- And the
eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and
they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
- 3:8
- 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 amongst the trees of the garden.
- 3:9
- And the
LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
- 3:10
- And he
said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was
naked; and I hid myself.
- 3:11
- And he
said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree,
whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
- 3:12
- And the
man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the
tree, and I did eat.
- 3:13
- And the
LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And
the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
- 3:14
- And the
LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art
cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy
belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
- 3:15
- And I
will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and
her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
- 3:16
- Unto the
woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception;
in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to
thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
- 3:17
- And unto
Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife,
and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou
shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow
shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
- 3:18
- Thorns
also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the
herb of the field;
- 3:19
- In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the
ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto
dust shalt thou return.
- 3:20
- And Adam
called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
- 3:21
- Unto Adam
also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed
them.
- 3:22
- And the
LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good
and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the
tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
- 3:23
- Therefore
the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the
ground from whence he was taken.
- 3:24
- So he
drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden
Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way
of the tree of life.
