1: And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam
and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed
up the flesh instead thereof;
22: And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man,
made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23: And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and
flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she
was taken out of Man.
24: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,
and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one
flesh.
25: And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and
were not ashamed.
Genesis ch.3
1: Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild
creature that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman,
"Did God say, `You shall not eat of any tree of the garden'?"
2: And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat of
the fruit of the trees of the garden;
3: but God said, `You shall not eat of the fruit of the
tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it,
lest you die.'"
4: But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die.
5: For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will
be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
6: So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,
and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was
to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit
and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, and he ate.
7: Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that
they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and
made themselves aprons.
8: And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in
the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid
themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the
trees of the garden.
9: But the LORD God called to the man, and said to him,
"Where are you?"
10: And he said, "I heard the sound of thee in the garden,
and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."
11: He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have
you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"
12: The man said, "The woman whom thou gavest to be with
me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate."
13: Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this
that you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent beguiled
me, and I ate."
14: The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have
done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild
animals; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall
eat all the days of your life.
15: I will put enmity between you and the woman, and
between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and
you shall bruise his heel."
16: To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your
pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet
your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule
over you."
17: And to Adam he said, "Because you have listened to
the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I
commanded you, `You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the
ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of
your life;
18: thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19: In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till
you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; you are dust,
and to dust you shall return."
20: The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was
the mother of all living.
21: And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments
of skins, and clothed them.
22: Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become
like one of us, knowing good and evil; 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 Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
24: He drove out the man; and at the east of the garden
of Eden he placed the cherubim, and a flaming sword which
turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
