Genesis 3:19-24

19 by the sweat of your face you will eat bread— until you return to the fertile land, since from it you were taken; you are soil, to the soil you will return."

20 The man named his wife Eve because she is the mother of everyone who lives.

21 The LORD God made the man and his wife leather clothes and dressed them.

22 The LORD God said, "The human being has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil." Now, so he doesn't stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever,

23 the LORD God sent him out of the garden of Eden to farm the fertile land from which he was taken.

24 He drove out the human. To the east of the garden of Eden, he stationed winged creatures wielding flaming swords to guard the way to the tree of life.
