the woman: You shall by no means die of death; 5. But God knoweth that in the day ye eat thereof, then shall your eyes be opened, and ye shall be as God, and shall know what is good and what is evil.

And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat of, and that it was pleasant to the sight, and that it was a goodly tree, because it made men wise: and she took of the fruit, and did eat, and gave to her husband also, and he did eat.

And both their eyes were opened, and they perceived that they were naked; and they put fig leaves together, and made them aprons.

And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden, when the day was cool.
And Adam hid himself and his wife from the presence of the LORD God under the trees of the garden.

And God the LORD called Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

And he said: I heard thy voice in the garden, and was afraid, because I was naked: therefore I hid myself.

And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou not eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat thereof?

And Adam said, The woman whom thou hast joined unto me gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

Then said God the LORD unto the woman: Why hast thou done this? And the woman said, The serpent so deceived me, that I did eat.

And God the LORD said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this thing, be thou accursed above all cattle, and above all beasts of the field. Thou shalt walk upon thy belly, and shalt eat earth all thy days.

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. The same shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

And unto the woman he said, I will cause thee much pain, when thou art with child; thou shalt bring forth children with pain: and thy will shall be subject unto thy husband, and he shall be thy lord.

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it; cursed be the field for thy sake; with sorrow shalt thou feed thereon all the days of thy life.

Thorns and thistles shall he bear unto thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread, until thou return unto the ground from whence thou wast taken. For thou art earth, and shalt become earth.

And Adam called his wife’s name Heva; because she is the mother of all the living.

And God the LORD made Adam and his wife skirts of skins, and put them on them, 22. And God the LORD said, Behold, Adam is become as we are, and knoweth good and evil.
But now lest he put forth his hand, and break also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Then God the LORD sent him forth out of the garden of Eden, to build the field from whence he was taken,

And he cast out Adam, and pitched before the garden of Eden the cherub with a naked edge of the sword, to keep the way unto the tree of life.
(Genesis)
Chapter 4
Cain’s fratricide. His descendants.

And Adam knew Heva his wife, and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said: I have the man, the LORD.

And she went on, and bare Habel his brother. And Habel became a shepherd, and Cain became a husbandman.

And it came to pass after certain days, that Cain offered of the fruit of the field unto the LORD;

And Habel also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat. And the LORD looked graciously onabel and his sacrifices;

But he looked not graciously upon Cain and upon his offering. And Cain was sore displeased, and his countenance was changed.

And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth, and why is thy countenance disguised?

Is it not so? if thou be godly, thou art pleasant: but if thou be not godly, sin lieth at the door.
But let it not have its way, but rule over it.

And Cain spake unto Habel his brother. And it came to pass, as they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Habel his brother, and slew him.

And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is thy brother Habel? And he said: I know not; shall I be my brother’s keeper?

And he said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the earth.

And now be thou accursed upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth, and received thy brother’s blood at thy hands.

When thou shalt build the field, he shall not give thee away his substance. Thou shalt be unstable and fugitive upon the earth.

And Cain said unto the LORD, My sin is greater than this, that it should be forgiven me.

Behold, thou hast driven me out of the land this day; and thou hast hid me from thy face; and I shall be a wanderer and a fugitive upon the earth. So it shall come to pass, that whosoever findeth me shall slay me.

And the LORD said unto him, Nay; but whosoever slayeth Cain shall be sevenfold smoked.
And the LORD made a sign unto Cain, that whosoever found him might not slay him.

So Cain departed from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east side of Eden.

And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and bare Hanoch. And he built a city, and called it Hanoch, after the name of his son.

And Hanoch begat Irad, and Irad begat Mahujael, and Mahujael begat Methusael, and Methusael begat Lamech.

And Lamech took two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

And Adah bare Jabal; from whom came they that dwelt in tents, and drew cattle.

And his brother’s name was Jubal: from him came the fiddlers and pipers.

And Zillah also bare, that is, to Tubalcain, the master of all manner of brass and ironwork.
And the sister of Tubalcain was Naema.

And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Wives of Lamech, hear my words, and know what I say; I have slain a man for a wound, and a young man for a bruise.

Cain shall be smelled seven times, but Lamech seventy and seven times.

And Adam knew his wife, and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: for God hath given me, said she, another seed for Habel, whom Cain slew.

And Seth also begat a son, and called his name Enos. And at that time they began to preach the name of the LORD.
