Man's First Sin
Genesis
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The serpent was more crafty than any wild creature that the Lord God had mad
e. He said to the woman, 'Is it true that God has forbidden you to eat from
any tree in the garden?'The woman answered the serpent, 'We may eat the f
ruit of any tree in the garden, except for the tree n the middle of the gard
en; God has forbidden us either to eat or to touch the fruit of that; if we
do, we shall die. 'The serpent said, 'Of course you will not die. God know
s that as soon as you eat it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like
gods knowing both good and evil. 'When the woman saw that the fruit of the
tree was good to eat, and that it was pleasing to the eye and tempting to co
ntemplate, she took some and ate it. She also gave her husband some and he a
te it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they discovered that th
ey were naked; so they stitched fig-leaves together and made themselves loin
cloths.
The man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden a
t the time of the evening breeze and hid from the Lord God among the trees o
f the garden. But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, 'Where ar
e you?'He replied, 'I heard the sound as you were walking in the garden, a
nd I was afraid because I was naked, and I hid myself. 'God answered, 'Who
told you that you were naked?Have you eaten from the tree which I forbade y
ou?'The man said, 'The woman you gave me for a companion, she gave me frui
t from the tree and I ate it . 'Then the Lord God said to the woman, 'What
is this that you have done?'The woman said, 'The serpent tricked me, and
I ate. 'Then the Lord God said to the serpent:
'Because you have done this you are accursed more than all cattle and all w
ild creatures. On your belly you shall crawl, and dust you shall eat all the
days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, between you
r brood and hers. They shall strike at your head, and you shall strike at th
eir heel. '
To the woman he said:
'I will increase your labour and your goaning, and in labour you shall bear
children. You shall be eager for your husband, and he shall be your master.
'And to the man he said:
'Because you have listened to your wife and have eaten from the tree which
I forbade you, accursed shall be the ground on your account. With labour you
shall win your food from it all the days of your life. It will grow thorns
and thistles for you, none but wild plants for you to eat. You shall gain yo
ur bread by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground; for from
it you were taden. Dust you are, to dust you shall return. '
the man called his wife Eve because she was the mother of all who live. The
Lord God made tunics of skins for Adam and his wife and clothed them. He sai
d, 'The man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; what if he no
w reaches out his hand and takes fruit from the tree of life also, eats it a
nd lives for ever?'so the Lord God drove him out of the garden of Eden to t
ill the ground from which he had been taken. He cast him out, and to the eas
t of the garden of Eden he stationed the cherubim and a sword whirling and f
lashing to guard the way to the tree of life.
