17 Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; 1Cursed is the ground because of you; 2In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life.
18 "Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field;
19 By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you 3return to the ground, Because 4from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return."
20 Now the man called his wife's name 5Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.
21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
22 Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of 6Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from 7the tree of life, and eat, and live forever "-
23 therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken.
24 So 8He drove the man out; and at the 9east of the garden of Eden He stationed the 10cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to 11the tree of life.
