Genesis 3:12-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. And the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree and I ate.”

13. And יהוה Elohim said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14. And יהוה Elohim said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all livestock and more than every beast of the field. On your belly you are to go, and eat dust all the days of your life.

15. “And I put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed. He shall crush your head, and you shall crush His heel.”

16. To the woman He said, “I greatly increase your sorrow and your conception – bring forth children in pain. And your desire is for your husband, and he does rule over you.”

17. And to the man He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘Do not eat of it’: “Cursed is the ground because of you, in toil you are to eat of it all the days of your life,

18. and the ground shall bring forth thorns and thistles for you, and you shall eat the plants of the field.

19. “By the sweat of your face you are to eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you return.”

20. And the man called his wife’s name Ḥawwah, because she became the mother of all living.

21. And יהוה Elohim made coats of skin for the man and his wife and dressed them.

22. And יהוה Elohim said, “See, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”

23. so יהוה Elohim sent him out of the garden of Ěḏen to till the ground from which he was taken,

24. and He drove the man out. And He placed keruḇim at the east of the garden of Ěḏen, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
