Genesis 3:7-22 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made loin coverings for themselves.

8. And they heard the sound of יהוה Elohim walking about in the garden in the cool of the day, and Aḏam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of יהוה Elohim among the trees of the garden.

9. And יהוה Elohim called unto Aḏam and said to him, “Where are you?”

10. And he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.”

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...”
