⁸ Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking^(A) in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid^(B) from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. ⁹ But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”^(C)

¹⁰ He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid^(D) because I was naked;^(E) so I hid.”

¹¹ And he said, “Who told you that you were naked?^(F) Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?^(G)”

²³ So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden^(A) to work the ground^(B) from which he had been taken. ²⁴ After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side^[a] of the Garden of Eden^(C) cherubim^(D) and a flaming sword^(E) flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.^(F)
