The First Book of Moses Called Genesis

 1 Now the ^aserpent was more ^bsubtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, ^cYea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

 3 But of the fruit of the ^atree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, ^aYe shall not surely die:

 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your ^aeyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, ^bknowing good and ^cevil.

 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for ^afood, and that it was ^bpleasant to the eyes, and a tree ^cto be desired to make one wise, she took of the ^dfruit thereof, and did ^eeat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did ^feat.

 7 And the eyes of them both were ^aopened, and they knew that they were ^bnaked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves ^caprons.

 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God ^awalking in the garden ^bin the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

 9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

 12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

 13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent ^abeguiled me, and I did eat.

 14 And the Lord God said unto the ^aserpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art ^bcursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

 15 And I will put ^aenmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; ^bit shall ^cbruise thy head, and thou shalt ^dbruise his heel.

 16 Unto the ^awoman he said, I will greatly ^bmultiply thy ^csorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth ^dchildren; and thy desire shall be to thy ^ehusband, and he shall rule over thee.

 17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy ^awife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: ^bcursed is the ground for thy sake; in ^csorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

 18 ^aThorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

 19 In the ^asweat of thy face shalt thou eat ^bbread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for ^cdust thou art, and unto ^ddust shalt thou return.

 20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the ^amother of all living.

 21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make ^acoats of skins, and ^bclothed them.

 22 ¶And the Lord God ^asaid, Behold, the ^bman is become as one of ^cus, to ^dknow good and ^eevil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

 23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of ^aEden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden ^aCherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the ^btree of life.
