7G enesis 3took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, whowas with her, and he ate it, too. 7 At that moment their eyes were opened,and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leavestogether to cover themselves.8 When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man* and his wifeheard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from theLord God among the trees. 9 Then the Lord God called to the man, “Whereare you?”10 He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraidbecause I was naked.”11 “Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have youeaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?”12 The man replied, “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit,and I ate it.”13 Then the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done?”“The serpent deceived me,” she replied. “That’s why I ate it.”14 Then the Lord God said to the serpent,1516“Because you have done this, you are cursedmore than all animals, domestic and wild.You will crawl on your belly,groveling in the dust as long as you live.And I will cause hostility between you and the woman,and between your offspring and her offspring.He will strike* your head,and you will strike his heel.”Then he said to the woman,“I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy,and in pain you will give birth.And you will desire to control your husband,but he will rule over you.*”171819And to the man he said,“Since you listened to your wife and ate from the treewhose fruit I commanded you not to eat,the ground is cursed because of you.All your life you will struggle to scratcha living from it.It will grow thorns and thistles for you,though you will eat of its grains.By the sweat of your browwill you have food to eatuntil you return to the groundfrom which you were made.For you were made from dust,and to dust you will return.”3:8 Or Adam, and so throughout the chapter. 3:15 Or bruise; also in 3:15b. 3:16 Or Andthough you will have desire for your husband, / he will rule over you.
