11. Then God asked: Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat?
12. The man replied, “The woman whom you put here with me—she gave me fruit from the tree, so I ate it.”
13. The Lord God then asked the woman: What is this you have done? The woman answered, “The snake tricked me, so I ate it.”
14. Then the Lord God said to the snake:Because you have done this,cursed are youamong all the animals, tame or wild;On your belly you shall crawl,and dust you shall eatall the days of your life.
15. I will put enmity between you and the woman,and between your offspring and hers;They will strike at your head,while you strike at their heel.
16. To the woman he said:I will intensify your toil in childbearing;in pain you shall bring forth children.Yet your urge shall be for your husband,and he shall rule over you.
17. To the man he said: Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, You shall not eat from it,Cursed is the ground because of you!In toil you shall eat its yieldall the days of your life.
18. Thorns and thistles it shall bear for you,and you shall eat the grass of the field.
19. By the sweat of your browyou shall eat bread,Until you return to the ground,from which you were taken;For you are dust,and to dust you shall return.
20. The man gave his wife the name “Eve,” because she was the mother of all the living.
21. The Lord God made for the man and his wife garments of skin, with which he clothed them.
22. Then the Lord God said: See! The man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil! Now, what if he also reaches out his hand to take fruit from the tree of life, and eats of it and lives forever?
23. The Lord God therefore banished him from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he had been taken.
24. He expelled the man, stationing the cherubim and the fiery revolving sword east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way to the tree of life.
