16. He said to the woman:I will intensify your labor pains;you will bear children in anguish. Your desire will be for your husband,yet he will rule over you.
17. And He said to Adam, “Because you listened to your wife’s voice and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘Do not eat from it’:The ground is cursed because of you. You will eat from it by means of painful labor all the days of your life.
18. It will produce thorns and thistles for you,and you will eat the plants of the field.
19. You will eat bread by the sweat of your browuntil you return to the ground, since you were taken from it.For you are dust,and you will return to dust.”
20. Adam named his wife Eve because she was the mother of all the living.
21. The Lord God made clothing out of skins for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.
22. The Lord God said, “Since man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil, he must not reach out, take from the tree of life, eat, and live forever.”
23. So the Lord God sent him away from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken.
24. He drove man out and stationed the cherubim and the flaming, whirling sword east of the garden of Eden to guard the way to the tree of life.
