Genesis 3:14-24 ▼

14 And YHWH God says to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed [are] you above all the livestock, and above every beast of the field: on your belly you go, and dust you eat, [for] all days of your life;

15 and I put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He bruises your head, and you bruise His heel.”

16 To the woman He said, “Multiplying I multiply your sorrow and your conception; you will bear children in sorrow, and your desire [is] toward your Man [[or husband]], and He [[or he]] will rule over you.”

17 And to the man He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and eat from the tree concerning which I have charged you, saying, You do not eat of it, cursed [is] the ground on your account; in sorrow you eat of it [for] all days of your life,

18 and it brings forth thorn and bramble for you, and you have eaten the herb of the field;

19 by the sweat of your face you eat bread until your return to the ground, for you have been taken out of it, for dust you [are], and to dust you return.”

20 And the man calls his wife’s name Eve, for she has been mother of all living.

21 And YHWH God makes coats of skin [for] the man and his wife, and clothes them.

22 And YHWH God says, “Behold, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and has also taken from the Tree of Life, and eaten, and lived for all time.”

23 YHWH God sends him forth from the Garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he has been taken;

24 indeed, He casts out the man, and causes the cherubim to dwell at the east of the Garden of Eden with the sword of flame whirling around to guard the way of the Tree of Life.
