17 To Adam he said, |Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. 18 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return.| 20 The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living. 21 And God made clothing out of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them. 22 Then God said, |Look, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So now, let us send him out, lest he reach out his hand and also take of the tree of life and eat, and live forever.| 23 Therefore the LORD sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he stationed the cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every direction, to guard the way to the tree of life.
