The Scriptures 1998

Genesis 3:1-10 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. And the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which יהוה Elohim had made, and he said to the woman, “Is it true that Elohim has said, ‘Do not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

2. And the woman said to the serpent, “We are to eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden,

3. but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Elohim has said, ‘Do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest you die.’ ”

4. And the serpent said to the woman, “You shall certainly not die.

5. “For Elohim knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be like Elohim, knowing good and evil.”

6. And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, and she took of its fruit and ate. And she also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

7. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made loin coverings for themselves.

8. And they heard the sound of יהוה Elohim walking about in the garden in the cool of the day, and Aḏam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of יהוה Elohim among the trees of the garden.

9. And יהוה Elohim called unto Aḏam and said to him, “Where are you?”

10. And he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.”
