Genesis, chapter 3

1. Now the serpent was more subtle than 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?
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 themselves aprons.
9. And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou?
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?
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: Because 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.
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.
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.
