the woman, 1 Yea, hath God said, Ye shall
not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent,
We may eat of the fruit of the trees of
the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, a Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent b said unto the c wo man, Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened; and ye shall be as gods, know. ing good and evil.

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did

eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked: A and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves 5 aprons.

8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the 6 cool of the day: and Adam and his wife m hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God, amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, o because I was naked; and I hid myself.

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

12 And the man said, q The woman, whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field: upon thy belly shalt thou go, and v dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

15 And I will put eamity between thee and the woman, and between u thy seed and w her seed; x it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow, and thy conception: in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be 15 to thy husband, and he shall z rule over thee.

17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it al the days of thy life:

16 builded. 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field."

15 And God spake unto Noah, saying, 16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with

thee.

17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and e be fruitful,&multiplyupon the earth. 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife,and his sons' wives with him. 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their 3 kinds, went forth out of the ark.

20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of g every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.

21 And the LORD smelled a 4 sweet savour: i and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again k curse the ground any more for man's sake; 5 for the l imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth: neither will I again m smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 22 While 6 the earth remaineth, s seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
