Gospels of God | Genesis 3:1-24

BOOK OF GENESIS

Chapter 3:1-24

Now the serpent was more subtle tha any of the

beasts of the earth which the Lord God had

made. And he said to the woman: Why hath

God commanded you, that you should not eat

of every tree of paradise?

2 And the woman answered him, saying: Of

the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do

eat:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the

midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that

we should not eat; and that we should not touch

it, lest perhaps we die.

4 And the serpent said to the woman: No, you

shall not die the death.

5 For God doth know that in what day soever

you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened:

and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.

6 And the woman saw that the tree was good

to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to

behold: and she took of the fruit thereof, and

did eat, and gave to her husband, who did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened:

and when they perceived themselves to be naked,

they sewed together fig leaves, and made them-

selves aprons.

8 And when they heard the voice of the Lord

God walking in paradise at the afternoon air,

Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face

of the Lord God, amidst the trees of paradise.

9 And the Lord God called Adam, and said to

him: Where art thou?

10 And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise;

and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid

myself.

11 And he said to him: And who hath told

thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast

eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that

thou shouldst not eat?

12 And Adam said: The woman, whom thou

gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the

tree, and I did eat.

13 And the Lord God said to the woman: Why

hast thou done this? And she answered: The

serpent deceived me, and I did eat.

14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: Be-

cause thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed

among all cattle, and beasts of the earth: upon

thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou

eat all the days of thy life.

15 I will put enmities between thee and the

woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall

cursh thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her

heel.

16 To the woman also he said: I will multi-

ply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow

shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt

be under thy husband’s power, and he shall have

dominion over thee.

17 And to Adam he said: Because thou hast

hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten

of the tree, whereof I commanded thee, that thou

shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work:

with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the

days of thy life.

18 Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to

thee, and thou shalt eat the herbs of the earth.

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread

till thou return to the earth out of which thou

wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou

shalt return.

20 And Adam called the name of his wife Eve:

because she was the mother of all the living.

21 And the Lord God made for Adam and his

wife garments of skins, and clothed them.

22 And he said: Behold Adam is become as

one of us, knowing good and evil: now therefore

lest perhaps he put forth his hand and take also

of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.

23 And the Lord God sent him out of the par-

adise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he

was taken.

24 And he cast out Adam: and placed before

the paradise of pleasure Cherubims, and a flam-

ing sword, turning every way, to keep the way of

the tree of life.
