The Serpent (Lucifer) deceives Eve—She and then Adam partake of the forbidden fruit—Her Seed (Christ) shall bruise the Serpent’s head—Role of woman, and of man—Adam and Eve cast out of the Garden of Eden—Adam presides—Eve becomes the mother of all living.

 NOW the ^aserpent was more ^bsubtil^• than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, ^cYea^•, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

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

 And the serpent said unto the woman, ^aYe^• shall not surely die:

 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your ^aeyes^• shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, ^bknowing^• good and ^cevil.

 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for ^afood, and that it was ^bpleasant^• to the eyes, and a tree ^cto^• be desired to make one wise, she took of the ^dfruit^• thereof, and did ^eeat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did ^feat^•.

 And the eyes of them both were ^aopened, and they knew that they were ^bnaked^•; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves ^caprons^•.

 And they heard the voice of the LORD God ^awalking^• in the garden ^bin^• the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

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

 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?

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

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

 And the LORD God said unto the ^aserpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art ^bcursed^• above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

 And I will put ^aenmity^• between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; ^bit^• shall ^cbruise^• thy head, and thou shalt ^dbruise^• his heel.

 Unto the ^awoman he said, I will greatly ^bmultiply^• thy ^csorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth ^dchildren^•; and thy desire shall be to thy ^ehusband, and he shall rule over thee.

 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy ^awife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: ^bcursed is the ground for thy sake; in ^csorrow^• shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

 ^aThorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

 In the ^asweat^• of thy face shalt thou eat ^bbread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for ^cdust^• thou art, and unto ^ddust^• shalt thou return.

 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the ^amother of all living.

 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make ^acoats^• of skins, and ^bclothed them.

 ¶ And the LORD God ^asaid^•, Behold, the ^bman is become as one of ^cus, to ^dknow^• good and ^eevil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of ^aEden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden ^aCherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the ^btree^• of life.
