1 |
Now the serpent was more subtil than any
beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman,
Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? |
|
2 |
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may
eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: |
|
3 |
But of the fruit of
the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall
not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die |
|
4 |
And the serpent said
unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: |
|
5 |
For God doth know
that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye
shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. |
|
6 |
And when the woman
saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the
eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit
thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he
did eat. |
|
7 |
And the eyes of them
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
voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and
Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God
amongst the trees of the garden. |
|
9 |
And the LORD God
called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? |
|
10 |
And he said, I heard
thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I
hid myself. |
|
11 |
And he said, Who told
thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I
commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? |
|
12 |
And the man said, The
woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did
eat. |
|
13 |
And the LORD God said
unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said,
The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. |
|
14 |
And the LORD God said
unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all
cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou
go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: |
|
15 |
And I will put enmity
between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall
bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. |
|
16 |
Unto the woman he
said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow
thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband,
and he shall rule over thee. |
|
17 |
And unto Adam he
said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast
eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat
of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it
all the days of thy life; |
|
18 |
Thorns also and
thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of
the field; |
|
19 |
In the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of
it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. |
|
20 |
And Adam called his
wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. |
|
21 |
Unto Adam also and to
his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. |
|
22 |
And the LORD God
said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know 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
whence he was taken. |
|
24 |
So he drove out the
man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a
flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of
life. |

1 |
And Adam knew Eve his
wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man
from the LORD. |
|
2 |
And she again bare
his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller
of the ground. |
|
3 |
And in process of
time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an
offering unto the LORD. |
|
4 |
And Abel, he also
brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the
LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: |
|
5 |
But unto Cain and to
his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his
countenance fell. |
|
6 |
And the LORD said
unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? |
|
7 |
If thou doest well,
shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the
door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. |
|
8 |
And Cain talked with
Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that
Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. |
|
9 |
And the LORD said
unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my
brother's keeper? |
|
10 |
And he said, What
hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the
ground. |
|
11 |
And now art thou
cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy
brother's blood from thy hand; |
|
12 |
When thou tillest the
ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive
and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. |
|
13 |
And Cain said unto
the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. |
|
14 |
Behold, thou hast
driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face
shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth;
and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. |
|
15 |
And the LORD said
unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on
him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him
should kill him. |
|
16 |
And Cain went out
from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east
of Eden. |
|
17 |
And Cain knew his
wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and
called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. |
|
18 |
And unto Enoch was
born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and
Methusael begat Lamech. |
|
19 |
And Lamech took unto
him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other
Zillah. |
|
20 |
And Adah bare Jabal:
he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. |
|
21 |
And his brother's
name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and
organ. |
|
22 |
And Zillah, she also
bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and
the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah. |
|
23 |
And Lamech said unto
his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken
unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man
to my hurt. |
|
24 |
If Cain shall be
avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. |
|
25 |
And Adam knew his
wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said
she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. |
|
26 |
And to Seth, to him
also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men
to call upon the name of the LORD. |
