Genesis 3:18-24

18 spinas et tribulos germinabit tibi et comedes herbas terrae

19 in sudore vultus tui vesceris pane donec revertaris in terram de qua sumptus es quia pulvis es et in pulverem reverteris

20 et vocavit Adam nomen uxoris suae Hava eo quod mater esset cunctorum viventium

21 fecit quoque Dominus Deus Adam et uxori eius tunicas pellicias et induit eos

22 et ait ecce Adam factus est quasi unus ex nobis sciens bonum et malum nunc ergo ne forte mittat manum suam et sumat etiam de ligno vitae et comedat et vivat in aeternum

23 emisit eum Dominus Deus de paradiso voluptatis ut operaretur terram de qua sumptus est

24 eiecitque Adam et conlocavit ante paradisum voluptatis cherubin et flammeum gladium atque versatilem ad custodiendam viam ligni vitae
