20 And Adam called his wife’s name (A)Eve,[a] because she was the mother of all living.

21 Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.

22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, 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”— 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden (B)to till the ground from which he was taken. 24 So (C)He drove out the man; and He placed (D)cherubim (E)at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of (F)life.

20 And the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living.

21 And Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe them.

22 And Jehovah God saith, `Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,' --

23 Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he hath been taken;

24 yea, he casteth out the man, and causeth to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flame of the sword which is turning itself round to guard the way of the tree of life.

22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of (B)Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might reach out with his hand, and take fruit also from (C)the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”— 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the Garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. 24 So (D)He drove the man out; and at the (E)east of the Garden of Eden He stationed the (F)cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to (G)the tree of life.
