7 And the eyes of both of them were opened; and when they realized that they were naked, they sewed together fig leaves and made themselves coverings.
8 And when they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the afternoon breeze, Adam and his wife hid themselves from the face of the Lord God amidst the trees of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: "Where are you?"
10 Who said: "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, and I hid myself."
11 To whom he said: "Who told you that you were naked, unless you have eaten from the tree from which I commanded you that you should not eat?"
12 And Adam said: "The woman, whom you gave me as a companion, gave to me from the tree, and I ate."
13 And the Lord God said to the woman: "Why have you done this?" Who answered: "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: "Because you have done this, you are cursed among all cattle and beasts of the earth: upon your breast shall you crawl, and earth shall you eat all the days of your life."
15 "I will put enmities between you and the woman, and your seed and her seed: she original: "ipsa" (she). While the Latin Vulgate uses the feminine pronoun, the original Hebrew and Greek use masculine or neutral forms ("he" or "it"). This verse is traditionally called the Protoevangelium, or the first promise of a redeemer. shall crush your head, and you shall lie in wait for her heel."
16 To the woman also he said: "I will multiply your labors and your conceptions: in sorrow shall you bring forth children, and you shall be under your husband's power, and he shall have dominion over you."
17 And to Adam he said: "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, from which I commanded you that you should not eat, cursed is the earth in your work: with labor shall you eat from it all the days of your life."
18 "Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you, and you shall eat the herbs of the earth."
19 "In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread until you return to the earth, out of which you were taken: for dust you are, and into dust you shall return."
20 And Adam called the name of his wife Eve original: Chavah, meaning "Life" or "Living.": because she was the mother of all the living.
21 And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.
22 And he said: "Behold, Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever."
23 And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken.
24 And he cast out Adam; and placed before the paradise of pleasure Cherubim celestial winged beings who serve as guardians of divine sacred space, and a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
