17 Then
to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded
the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you,
saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’; “Cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil
you shall eat of it all the days of your life.
18 Both
thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat the herb of
the field.
19 In
the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the shall eat
bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you
are, and to dust you shall return.”
20 And
Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
21 Also
for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.
22 Then
the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has
become like one of Us, to know good and evil.
And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and
eat, and live forever”—
23 Therefore
the Lord God sent him out of the Garden of Eden to till the ground from which
he was taken.
24 So
He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim
at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way,
to guard the way to the tree of life.
