The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.”

The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.

And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;

By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—”

He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.

Cain and Abel

Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord.”

If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, and you must rule over it.”

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?”

Then the Lord said to him, “Not so! If anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the Lord put a mark on Cain, lest any who found him should attack him.

Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.

Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say: I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.

Adam's Descendants to Noah

This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.

Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created.

When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.

Seth lived after he fathered Enosh 807 years and had other sons and daughters.

When Enosh had lived 90 years, he fathered Kenan.

Enosh lived after he fathered Kenan 815 years and had other sons and daughters.

When Kenan had lived 70 years, he fathered Mahalalel.

Kenan lived after he fathered Mahalalel 840 years and had other sons and daughters.

When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he fathered Jared.

Mahalalel lived after he fathered Jared 830 years and had other sons and daughters.
