3:16 To the woman he said,
“I will greatly increase 1 your labor pains; 2
with pain you will give birth to children.
You will want to control your husband, 3
but he will dominate 4 you.”
3:17 But to Adam 5 he said,
“Because you obeyed 6 your wife
and ate from the tree about which I commanded you,
‘You must not eat from it,’
cursed is the ground 7 thanks to you; 8
in painful toil you will eat 9 of it all the days of your life.
3:18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
but you will eat the grain 10 of the field.
3:19 By the sweat of your brow 11 you will eat food
until you return to the ground, 12
for out of it you were taken;
for you are dust, and to dust you will return.” 13
3:20 The man 14 named his wife Eve, 15 because 16 she was the mother of all the living. 17 3:21 The Lord God made garments from skin 18 for Adam and his wife, and clothed them. 3:22 And the Lord God said, “Now 19 that the man has become like one of us, 20 knowing 21 good and evil, he must not be allowed 22 to stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 3:23 So the Lord God expelled him 23 from the orchard in Eden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken. 3:24 When he drove 24 the man out, he placed on the eastern side 25 of the orchard in Eden angelic sentries 26 who used the flame of a whirling sword 27 to guard the way to the tree of life.
