GENESIS Chapter 3, the Sin of Adam and Eve

1 And the Nachash (hissing) was cunning above every creature of the field that had brought forth Jehovah God. And said he to the woman; Yea, has said God, not you may eat from any tree of the garden?
2 And said the woman to the Nachash; Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
3 but of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, had said God, Not will you eat of it, nor will you touch it, lest you die.
4 And said the Nachash to the woman, Not dying suddenly you will die;
5 For knows God that in the time you eat of it, then will be opened your eyes, and you will be as God knowing good and bad.
6 And saw the woman that was good the tree for food, and that was pleasant it to the eyes, and that desirable the tree was to have understanding, and she took of its fruit and ate, and also gave of it to her husband with her, and he ate.
7 And were opened the eyes of both of them and they knew that nude they were; and they sewed leaves of the fig tree and fashioned for themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the sound of Jehovah God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and they hid themselves the man and his woman, from the face of the Jehovah God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
9 And called Jehovah God to the man and said to him, Where are you?
10 And he said, Your sound I have heard in the garden and I was afraid for nude I am, and I hid myself.
11 And He said, Who told you that nude you were? Of the tree which I have charged you not to eat from, have you eaten?
12 And said the man, The woman You gave to be with me, she has given to me of the tree, and I ate.
~ 13 And said Jehovah God to the woman, What is this you have done? And said the woman, the Nachash lead astray me, and I ate.
14 And said Jehovah God to the Nachash, Because you have done this, cursed you are above all creatures, and more than all the living creature of the field. On your belly your will go, and dust you will eat all the days of your life.
15 And hostility I will set between you and between the woman, between your seed and between her seed, he will bruise to your head, and you will bruise him on the heel.

16 To the woman He said, Exceedingly I will increase your sorrow and your conception in sorrow you will bring forth sons, and to your husband your longing shall be, and he will rule over you.

17 And to the man He said, Because you have listened to the voice of your woman, you have eaten which I charged you, saying, Not you will eat of it, cursed will be the soil because of you; in sorrow you shall eat of it all the time of your life.
18 And thorns and thistles it will bring forth to you, and you will eat the plant of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the soil; for out of it you have been taken: for dust you are, and to dust will you return.
20 And called the man name his woman Eve (living), because she became the mother of all living.
21 And fashioned Jehovah God for the man and his woman garments of skin, and clothed them.
22 And said Jehovah God, Behold, the man has become as one of Us, to know good and bad, and now lest he put forth his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live for an age;
23 Therefore, sent him Jehovah God out of the garden of Eden to work the soil which he was taken from.
24 And He drove out the man, and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubim, and flaming the sword whirling around to guard the way of the tree of life.

~ 9 And the Lord God called to the man and said to him, Where are you?
10 And he said, I had heard your sound in the garden and I was afraid because I was unclothed, and I hid myself.

12 And the man said, The woman who You gave to be with me, she has given to me of the tree, and I ate.
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, What is this that you have done? And the woman said, the serpent lead me astray, and I did eat.

1 The serpent was the most cunning of the all the creatures God made. And he said to the woman, Did God say you should not eat of any tree in the garden?
~ ~ 2 And the woman answered, We may eat the fruit of any tree in the garden,
3 except for the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, He said, you will not eat it, or touch it, or you will die.
4 And the serpent answered, You will not very suddenly die,
~ 5 for God knows that when you eat of it you will be like Him in knowing about good and bad.
~ 6 And the woman saw the fruit was beautiful and delicious and she wanted it to increase her understanding, so she picked it and ate it and gave it also to her husband, and he ate also.
~~ 7 Their eyes were opened and they realized they were unclothed, so they made aprons of fig leaves for themselves.
~ 8 Then they heard the Lord walking around in the garden at dusk and they hid from Him in the bushes.
~~~~ 9 And God called, Where are you?
~~ 10 And the man said, I heard You and was afraid since I was unclothed, and hid myself.
~ 11 And God said, Who told you that you were unclothed? Have you eaten of the fruit that I commanded you not to eat?
12 And he said, The woman You gave to me as a mate, she gave it to me and I ate.
~ 13 And God said, What have you done? And the woman said, the serpent charmed me and I ate it.
~~ 14 So the Lord said to the serpent, Because you have done this you will be cursed more than any creature, and you will crawl on your belly and eat dust the rest of your life.
~~ 15 And there will be war between you and the woman, between you offspring and her offspring, they will strike your head and you will strike at their heels.

17 To the man God said, Because you have listened to your wife and disobeyed me, the soil will be cursed because of you and you will live from it in sorrow the rest of your life.
~~ 18 It will grow thorns and thistles, and you will eat plants from among them.
19 You will work for food from the soil until you return to it, for you were fashioned from it, from the dirt you are and to the dirt you will return.
20 And the man called his wife Eve, for she was to be the mother of all of Adam's offspring.
21 And the Lord made them garments of skin and clothed them.
22 And the Lord said, Behold, Like Us the man now knows about good and bad, I will keep him from eating of the tree of life and living for ages.
~ 23 So the Lord put him out of the garden of Eden to farm the soil from which he was fashioned.
