The serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which Adonoy Elohim made; and it said to the woman, Did Elohim even [truly] say that you should not eat from all the trees of the Garden?

The woman said to the serpent, From the fruit of the trees of the Garden we may eat.

But of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the Garden, Elohim said, You shall not eat from it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.

The serpent said to the woman, You certainly will not die.

For [it is revealed before] Elohim (knows) that on the day you will eat from it, your eyes will be opened, and you will become as gods [great ones], knowing what is good and what is evil.

The woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was tempting [healing] to the eyes, and that the tree was appealing [to look at] as a means of [obtaining] wisdom. She took of its fruit and she ate, and she also gave it to her husband with her, and he ate.

The eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they were naked. They sewed together fig leaves, and made for themselves loincloths.

They heard the voice of [the Word of] Adonoy Elohim moving in the Garden at the breeze [in the evening] of the day. The man and his wife hid themselves from [the Presence of] Adonoy Elohim among the trees of the Garden.

Adonoy Elohim called to the man, and He said, Where are you?

He said, I heard Your voice [the voice of Your Word] in the Garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.

And He said, Who told you that you were naked? From the tree whereof I commanded you not to eat of it, have you eaten?

The man said, The woman that You gave to be with me—she gave me of the tree and I ate.

Adonoy Elohim said to the woman, What is this that you have done? She said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

Adonoy Elohim said to the serpent, Because you did this, cursed are you from among all animals and beasts of the field. On your belly you shall crawl. And dust you shall eat all the days of your life.

I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He shall strike you on the head, and you shall strike him on the heel. [He will remember you, what you did to him from the beginning, and you will expect him at the end].

To the woman He said, I will greatly increase your sorrow and your pregnancy. You will give birth to children with pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will dominate you.

To the man He said, Because you listened to your wife, and ate from the tree which I commanded you, saying, Do not eat from it; the soil will be cursed because of you. In sorrow [With toil] you shall eat from it all the days of your life.

It will grow thorns and thistles for you; and you will eat the herbs of the field.

By the sweat of your face you will eat bread, until you return to the ground for from it [the ground] were you taken [created]. For you are dust and to dust you shall return.

The man called his wife’s name Chavah, [Eve] because she had become the mother of all living [people].

And Adonoy Elohim made for Adam and his wife leather coats [garments of honor on the skin of their flesh] and He clothed them.

Adonoy Elohim said, Behold, the man has become like one of us [unique. It is for him] to know [what is] good and [what is] evil. Now he must be prevented from reaching out his hand and also taking from the Tree of Life and eat [from it] and live forever.

[Therefore] Adonoy Elohim sent him out of the Garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he was taken [created].

He banished the man [from the Garden] and at the east of [before] the Garden of Eden He stationed the Cherubim and the flame of the rotating sword, to guard the way to the Tree of Life.
