Bereshis 3:9-20 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

9. And Hashem Elohim called unto HaAdam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

10. And he said, I heard Thy voice in the gan (garden), and I was afraid, because I was eirom (naked); and so I hid.

11. And He said, Who told thee that thou wast eirom (naked)? Hast thou eaten of HaEtz, which I commanded thee that thou not eat thereof?

12. And HaAdam said,The isha whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of HaEtz, and I did eat.

13. And Hashem Elohim said unto the isha, What is this that thou hast done? And the isha said, The Nachash beguiled me, and I did eat.

14. And Hashem Elohim said unto the Nachash, Because thou hast done this, thou art arur (cursed) above kol habehemah, and above every beast of the sadeh; upon thy gakhon (belly) shalt thou go, and aphar shalt thou eat all the days of thy life;

15. And I will put eivah (enmity, Midrash Rabbah 23:5) between thee and HaIsha (see HaAlmah, Yeshayah 7:14), and between thy zera and her Zera; it shall crush thy rosh, and thou shalt strike his akev (heel).

16. Unto HaIsha He said, I will greatly multiply thy itzavon ([labor] pain) and thy childbearing; in pain thou shalt bring forth banim; and thy teshukah (longing, desire) shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

17. And unto Adam He said, Because thou paid heed unto the voice of thy isha, and hast eaten of HaEtz, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it, arurah (cursed) is haadamah because of thee; in itzavon (pain, suffering, see verse 16) shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

18. Kotz also and dardar shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the esev of the sadeh;

19. In the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat lechem, till thou return unto haadamah; for out of it wast thou taken; for aphar thou art, and unto aphar shalt thou return.

20. And HaAdam called the shem of his isha Chavah (Eve); because she was the Em kol chai.
