Genesis 3:19-22
Lexham English Bible
19 By the sweat of your brow[a]
you shall eat bread,
until your return to the ground.
For from it you were taken;
for you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.”
20 And the man[b] named[c] his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all life. 21 And Yahweh God made for Adam[d] and for his wife garments of skin, and he clothed them.
22 And Yahweh God said, “Look—the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil. What if[e] he stretches out his hand and takes also from the tree of life and eats, and lives forever?”
