1. Now the snake was the most clever of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day the snake said to the woman, "Did God really say that you must not eat fruit from any tree in the garden?"
|
1. Now the serpent H5175 was H1961 more subtle H6175 than any H4480 H3605 beast H2416 of the field H7704 which H834 the LORD H3068 God H430 had made H6213 . And he said H559 unto H413 the woman H802 , Yea H637 H3588 , hath God H430 said H559 , Ye shall not H3808 eat H398 of every H4480 H3605 tree H6086 of the garden H1588 ?
|
|
2. The woman answered the snake, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden.
|
2. And the woman H802 said H559 unto H413 the serpent H5175 , We may eat H398 of the fruit H4480 H6529 of the trees H6086 of the garden H1588 :
|
|
3. But God told us, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden. You must not even touch it, or you will die.'"
|
3. But of the fruit H4480 H6529 of the tree H6086 which H834 is in the midst H8432 of the garden H1588 , God H430 hath said H559 , Ye shall not H3808 eat H398 of H4480 it, neither H3808 shall ye touch H5060 it, lest H6435 ye die H4191 .
|
|
4. But the snake said to the woman, "You will not die.
|
4. And the serpent H5175 said H559 unto H413 the woman H802 , Ye shall not H3808 surely die H4191 H4191 :
|
|
5. God knows that if you eat the fruit from that tree, you will learn about good and evil and you will be like God!"
|
5. For H3588 God H430 doth know H3045 that H3588 in the day H3117 ye eat H398 thereof H4480 , then your eyes H5869 shall be opened H6491 , and ye shall be H1961 as gods H430 , knowing H3045 good H2896 and evil H7451 .
|
|
6. The woman saw that the tree was beautiful, that its fruit was good to eat, and that it would make her wise. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some of the fruit to her husband, and he ate it.
|
6. And when the woman H802 saw H7200 that H3588 the tree H6086 was good H2896 for food H3978 , and that H3588 it H1931 was pleasant H8378 to the eyes H5869 , and a tree H6086 to be desired H2530 to make one wise H7919 , she took H3947 of the fruit H4480 H6529 thereof , and did eat H398 , and gave H5414 also H1571 unto her husband H376 with H5973 her ; and he did eat H398 .
|
|
7. Then, it was as if their eyes were opened. They realized they were naked, so they sewed fig leaves together and made something to cover themselves.
|
7. And the eyes H5869 of them both H8147 were opened H6491 , and they knew H3045 that H3588 they H1992 were naked H5903 ; and they sewed H8609 fig H8384 leaves H5929 together , and made H6213 themselves aprons H2290 .
|
|
8. Then they heard the Lord God walking in the garden during the cool part of the day, and the man and his wife hid from the Lord God among the trees in the garden.
|
8. And they heard H8085 H853 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 God H430 walking H1980 in the garden H1588 in the cool H7307 of the day H3117 : and Adam H121 and his wife H802 hid themselves H2244 from the presence H4480 H6440 of the LORD H3068 God H430 amongst H8432 the trees H6086 of the garden H1588 .
|
|
9. But the Lord God called to the man and said, "Where are you?"
|
9. And the LORD H3068 God H430 called H7121 unto H413 Adam H121 , and said H559 unto him, Where H335 art thou?
|
|
10. The man answered, "I heard you walking in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid."
|
10. And he said H559 , I heard H8085 H853 thy voice H6963 in the garden H1588 , and I was afraid H3372 , because H3588 I H595 was naked H5903 ; and I hid myself H2244 .
|
|
11. God asked, "Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat fruit from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?"
|
11. And he said H559 , Who H4310 told H5046 thee that H3588 thou H859 wast naked H5903 ? Hast thou eaten H398 of H4480 the tree H6086 , whereof H834 H4480 I commanded H6680 thee that thou shouldest not H1115 eat H398 ?
|
|
12. The man said, "You gave this woman to me and she gave me fruit from the tree, so I ate it."
|
12. And the man H120 said H559 , The woman H802 whom H834 thou gavest H5414 to be with H5973 me, she H1931 gave H5414 me of H4480 the tree H6086 , and I did eat H398 .
|
|
13. Then the Lord God said to the woman, "How could you have done such a thing?" She answered, "The snake tricked me, so I ate the fruit."
|
13. And the LORD H3068 God H430 said H559 unto the woman H802 , What H4100 is this H2063 that thou hast done H6213 ? And the woman H802 said H559 , The serpent H5175 beguiled H5377 me , and I did eat H398 .
|
|
14. The Lord God said to the snake, "Because you did this, a curse will be put on you. You will be cursed as no other animal, tame or wild, will ever be. You will crawl on your stomach, and you will eat dust all the days of your life.
|
14. And the LORD H3068 God H430 said H559 unto H413 the serpent H5175 , Because H3588 thou hast done H6213 this H2063 , thou H859 art cursed H779 above all H4480 H3605 cattle H929 , and above every H4480 H3605 beast H2416 of the field H7704 ; upon H5921 thy belly H1512 shalt thou go H1980 , and dust H6083 shalt thou eat H398 all H3605 the days H3117 of thy life H2416 :
|
|
15. I will make you and the woman enemies to each other. Your descendants and her descendants will be enemies. One of her descendants will crush your head, and you will bite his heel."
|
15. And I will put H7896 enmity H342 between H996 thee and the woman H802 , and between H996 thy seed H2233 and her seed H2233 ; it H1931 shall bruise H7779 thy head H7218 , and thou H859 shalt bruise H7779 his heel H6119 .
|
|
16. Then God said to the woman, "I will cause you to have much trouble when you are pregnant, and when you give birth to children, you will have great pain. You will greatly desire your husband, but he will rule over you."
|
16. Unto H413 the woman H802 he said H559 , I will greatly H7235 multiply H7235 thy sorrow H6093 and thy conception H2032 ; in sorrow H6089 thou shalt bring forth H3205 children H1121 ; and thy desire H8669 shall be to H413 thy husband H376 , and he H1931 shall rule H4910 over thee.
|
|
17. Then God said to the man, "You listened to what your wife said, and you ate fruit from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat. "So I will put a curse on the ground, and you will have to work very hard for your food. In pain you will eat its food all the days of your life.
|
17. And unto Adam H121 he said H559 , Because H3588 thou hast hearkened H8085 unto the voice H6963 of thy wife H802 , and hast eaten H398 of H4480 the tree H6086 , of which H834 I commanded H6680 thee, saying H559 , Thou shalt not H3808 eat H398 of H4480 it: cursed H779 is the ground H127 for thy sake H5668 ; in sorrow H6093 shalt thou eat H398 of it all H3605 the days H3117 of thy life H2416 ;
|
|
18. The ground will produce thorns and weeds for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
|
18. Thorns H6975 also and thistles H1863 shall it bring forth H6779 to thee ; and thou shalt eat H398 H853 the herb H6212 of the field H7704 ;
|
|
19. You will sweat and work hard for your food. Later you will return to the ground, because you were taken from it. You are dust, and when you die, you will return to the dust."
|
19. In the sweat H2188 of thy face H639 shalt thou eat H398 bread H3899 , till H5704 thou return H7725 unto H413 the ground H127 ; for H3588 out of H4480 it wast thou taken H3947 : for H3588 dust H6083 thou H859 art , and unto H413 dust H6083 shalt thou return H7725 .
|
|
20. The man named his wife Eve, because she is the mother of everyone who has ever lived.
|
20. And Adam H121 called H7121 his wife H802 's name H8034 Eve H2332 ; because H3588 she H1931 was H1961 the mother H517 of all H3605 living H2416 .
|
|
21. The Lord God made clothes from animal skins for the man and his wife and dressed them.
|
21. Unto Adam H121 also and to his wife H802 did the LORD H3068 God H430 make H6213 coats H3801 of skins H5785 , and clothed H3847 them.
|
|
22. Then the Lord God said, "The man has become like one of us; he knows good and evil. We must keep him from eating some of the fruit from the tree of life, or he will live forever."
|
22. And the LORD H3068 God H430 said H559 , Behold H2005 , the man H120 is become H1961 as one H259 of H4480 us , to know H3045 good H2896 and evil H7451 : and now H6258 , lest H6435 he put forth H7971 his hand H3027 , and take H3947 also H1571 of the tree H4480 H6086 of life H2416 , and eat H398 , and live H2425 forever H5769 :
|
|
23. So the Lord God forced the man out of the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken.
|
23. Therefore the LORD H3068 God H430 sent him forth H7971 from the garden H4480 H1588 of Eden H5731 , to till H5647 H853 the ground H127 from whence H4480 H8033 H834 he was taken H3947 .
|
|
24. After God forced the man out of the garden, he placed angels and a sword of fire that flashed around in every direction on its eastern border. This kept people from getting to the tree of life.
|
24. So he drove out H1644 H853 the man H120 ; and he placed H7931 at the east H4480 H6924 of the garden H1588 of Eden H5731 H853 Cherubims H3742 , and a flaming H3858 sword H2719 which turned every way H2015 , to keep H8104 H853 the way H1870 of the tree H6086 of life H2416 .
