(Romans 5:12–21)
1
Now the serpent was more shrewd than any other beast of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You must not eat from any tree of the garden’?”
2
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden,
3
but concerning the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God said, ‘You may not eat it, nor may you touch it, or you will die.’”
4
The serpent said to the woman, “You will surely not die.
5
For God knows that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate it. Then she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.
7
The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

God Arraigns Adam and Eve

8
They heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, so the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.
9
Yahweh God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”
10
The man said, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked. So I hid myself.”
11
God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12
The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13
Yahweh God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent lied to me, and I ate.”

The Fate of the Serpent

14
Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you alone among all the livestock and all the beasts of the field. It is on your stomach that you will go, and it is dust that you will eat all the days of your life.
15
I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”

The Punishment of Mankind

16
To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in having children; it is in pain that you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, but he will rule over you.”
17
To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree, concerning which I commanded you, saying, ‘You may not eat from it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; through painful work you will eat from it 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
By the sweat of your face you will eat bread, until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you will return.”
20
The man called his wife’s name Eve because she was the mother of all the living.

The Expulsion from Paradise

21
Yahweh God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.
22
Yahweh God said, “Now the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So now he must not be allowed to reach out with his hand, take from the tree of life, eat it, and live forever.”
23
Therefore, Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken.
24
So God drove the man out of the garden, and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword that turned every way, in order to guard the way to the tree of life.
(Romans 5:12–21)
1
Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?”
2
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden,
3
but not the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it. You shall not touch it, lest you die.’”
4
The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die,
5
for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.
7
Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.

God Arraigns Adam and Eve

8
They heard the LORD God’s voice walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
9
The LORD God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
10
The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
11
God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12
The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13
The LORD God said to the woman, “What have you done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

The Fate of the Serpent

14
The LORD God said to the serpent,Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
15
I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”

The Punishment of Mankind

16
To the woman he said,I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. You will bear children in pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
17
To Adam he said,Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and have eaten from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labor all the days of your life.
18
It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
19
You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”
20
The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.

The Expulsion from Paradise

21
The LORD God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
22
The LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—”
23
Therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
24
So he drove out the man; and he placed cherubim (a) at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
