Genesis 3:8-24
New Living Translation
8 When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man[a] and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees. 9 Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
10 He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.”
11 “Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?”
12 The man replied, “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, and I ate it.”
13 Then the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done?”
“The serpent deceived me,” she replied. “That’s why I ate it.”
14 Then the Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this, you are cursed
more than all animals, domestic and wild.
You will crawl on your belly,
groveling in the dust as long as you live.
15 And I will cause hostility between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring.
He will strike[b] your head,
and you will strike his heel.”
16 Then he said to the woman,
“I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy,
and in pain you will give birth.
And you will desire to control your husband,
but he will rule over you.[c]”
17 And to the man he said,
“Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree
whose fruit I commanded you not to eat,
the ground is cursed because of you.
All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it.
18 It will grow thorns and thistles for you,
though you will eat of its grains.
19 By the sweat of your brow
will you have food to eat
until you return to the ground
from which you were made.
For you were made from dust,
and to dust you will return.”
Paradise Lost: God’s Judgment
20 Then the man—Adam—named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all who live.[d] 21 And the Lord God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife.
22 Then the Lord God said, “Look, the human beings[e] have become like us, knowing both good and evil. What if they reach out, take fruit from the tree of life, and eat it? Then they will live forever!” 23 So the Lord God banished them from the Garden of Eden, and he sent Adam out to cultivate the ground from which he had been made. 24 After sending them out, the Lord God stationed mighty cherubim to the east of the Garden of Eden. And he placed a flaming sword that flashed back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

8 Then they heard the sound of (A)Yahweh God walking in the garden in the [a]cool of the day, (B)and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God in the midst of the trees of the garden. 9 Yahweh God called to the man and said to him, “(C)Where are you?” 10 And he said, “(D)I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” 11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 (E)And the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave to me from the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “(F)The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” 14 And Yahweh God said to the serpent,
“(G)Because you have done this,
Cursed are you more than any of the cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you will go,
And (H)dust you will eat
All the days of your life;
15 And I will put (I)enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her seed;
(J)He shall [b]bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel.”
16 To the woman He said,
“I will greatly multiply
Your pain and [c]conception,
In pain you will [d](K)bear children;
Your desire will be for your husband,
And (L)he will rule over you.”
17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’;
(M)Cursed is the ground because of you;
(N)In [e]pain you will eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall (O)grow for you;
And you will eat the [f]plants of the field;
19 By the sweat of your [g]face
You will eat bread,
Till you (P)return to the ground,
Because (Q)from it you were taken;
For you are dust,
And to dust you shall return.”
20 Now the man called his wife’s name [h](R)Eve, because she was the mother of all the living. 21 Then Yahweh God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.
22 Then Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of (S)Us [i]to know good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand and take also from (T)the tree of life and eat and live forever”— 23 therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to [j]cultivate the ground from which he was taken. 24 So (U)He drove the man out; and at the (V)east of the garden of Eden He stationed the (W)cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to [k]guard the way to (X)the tree of life.
