16   To the woman he said,
   “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
   with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
   and he will rule over you.”
17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to
your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which
I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’
   “Cursed is the ground because of you;
   through painful toil you will eat food from it
   all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,

   and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow

   you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
   since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
   and to dust you will return.”

 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as
he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid
from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the
LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?”
 10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid
because I was naked; so I hid.”
 11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you
eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
 12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me
some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
 13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have
done?”
   The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14So the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you
have done this,
   “Cursed are you above all livestock
   and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
   and you will eat dust
   all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity

   between you and the woman,
   and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
   and you will strike his heel.”
 21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam
and his wife and clothed them. 22 And the LORD God
said, “The man has now become like one of us,
knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to
reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life
and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the LORD God
banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the
ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he
drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the
Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing
back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
