Genesis 3:9-15, 20
9Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"
10The man said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."
11God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"
12The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
13Yahweh God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
14Yahweh God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above every animal of the field. On your belly shall you go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
15I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."
16To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
17To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife`s voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, `You shall not eat of it,` cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
18Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
19By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
20The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
