11
Then he asked, "Who told you that you [were] naked? Have you eaten from {the tree from which I forbade you to eat}?"
12
And the man replied, "The woman whom you gave [to be] with me--she gave to me from the tree and I ate."
13
Then Yahweh God said to the woman, "What [is] this you have done?" And the woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
14
Then Yahweh God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, you [will be] cursed more than any domesticated animal and more than any wild animal. On your belly you shall go and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.
15
And I will put hostility between you and between the woman, and between your offspring and between her offspring; he will strike you [on the] head, and you will strike him [on the] heel."
16
To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase {your pain in childbearing}; in pain you shall bear children. And to your husband [shall be] your desire. And he shall rule over you."
17
And to Adam he said, "Because you listened to the voice of your wife and you ate from the tree {from which I forbade you to eat}, the ground [shall be] cursed on your account. In pain you shall eat [from] it all the days of your life.
18
And thorns and thistles shall sprout for you, and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19
By the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread, until your return to the ground. For from it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
20
And the man {named} his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all life.
21
And Yahweh God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skin, and he clothed them.
