  1. Genesis III
  2. 3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
  3. 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
  4. 4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.
  5. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
  6. 6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
  7. 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
  8. 10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
  9. 11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
  10. 12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
  11. 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
  12. The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
  13. 14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,
  14. “Cursed are you above all livestock
  15. and all wild animals!
  16. You will crawl on your belly
  17. and you will eat dust
  18. all the days of your life.
  19. 15 And I will put enmity
  20. between you and the woman,
  21. and between your offspring[a] and hers;
  22. he will crush[b] your head,
  23. and you will strike his heel.”
  24. 16 To the woman he said,
  25. “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
  26. with painful labor you will give birth to children.
  27. Your desire will be for your husband,
  28. and he will rule over you.”
  29. 17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’
  30. “Cursed is the ground because of you;
  31. through painful toil you will eat food from it
  32. all the days of your life.
  33. 18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
  34. and you will eat the plants of the field.
  35. 19 By the sweat of your brow
  36. you will eat your food
  37. until you return to the ground,
  38. since from it you were taken;
  39. for dust you are
  40. and to dust you will return.”
  41. 20 Adam[c] named his wife Eve,[d] because she would become the mother of all the living.
  42. 21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them
  43. . 22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”
  44. 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.
  45. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side[e] of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

  48. CIA GENESIS III
  49. 1. ¶ Now at the time of the beginning of this story, the oceans were in their normal state of quietness; and it was known to the woman of this story that she was not descended from any of the peoples of the lands which sprang from the mother continent;
  50. 2. And God's design was that the woman would learn that the people of the offspring lands would live on,
  51. 3. But the people of the motherland, from whom she had descended, would surely all die.
  52. 4. And she knew that in spite of the impending inundation, she would not surely die;
  53. 5. For God's design was that from the day she was born, she was descended from the original mankind of the motherland, and was destined to know all, to discern both good and evil.
  54. 6. And the woman, being of the motherland, and being wise and good, knew that both she and her father were
  55. descended from the original mankind of the motherland.
  56. 7. And they both were wise, and had lived the good life; and it was that time of the year when some clothing was needed for warmth.
  57. 8. And in the cool of those days, when they were wondering to which of the offspring lands they should go, and God's presence was felt strongly by them,
  58. 9. Adam felt God's call,
  59. 10. And said, I have heard God's warning since the summer, and have feared, for I knew not where to find refuge;
  60. 11. And God's warning had come to him in the summer, as a warning to leave the land of his ancestors.
  61. 12. And the man said, the woman who is my daughter, and descended of my ancestors, gave me this knowledge;
  62. 13. And asked her, What gift of knowledge has God given you? And the woman said, I am of your ancestors and inherit their wisdom; and the coming inundations of the oceans has been made known to me;
  63. 14. And God's design was that the oceans would so inundate the lands, and drown all cattle, and all beasts of the field, and bury all dust,
  64. 15. And God has thus given me victory over the oceans, such that the seed of future generations is in you and me, for the oceans will drown all others.
  65. 16. And God's design was that although the inundation would greatly multiply her sorrows, she would even so bring forth children, as her love would be for her husband, and his for her.
  66. 17. And unto Adam it was God's will that he heed the words of his daughter, and God's warning that though they be descendants of original mankind of the motherland, they should leave it, as it was destined for destruction, and were they to stay, surely they would regret it;
  67. 18. And where Adam was to go, the land would be difficult to farm, with thorns and thistles abounding; and even so the herb of the field was to be their food.
  68. 19. By his own toil and sweat he was destined to fight the fight for survival after the inundation, even to the end of his days, when he would return to mother Earth, as it was Earth man came from, and unto Earth he shall return.
  69. 20. And after the inundation, Adam therefore made the woman his wife, and called her Eve, as she was to be the mother of all living from the motherland.
  70. 21. And, again after the inundation, as they were in a colder climate, it was God's design as part of their survival that they make coats of skins, and be clothed.
  71. 22. ¶ And it was God's design that Adam should take with him the knowledge of good and evil from the motherland as he put forth and left in order to live;
  72. 23. Therefore, in accordance with God's will, he left the garden of Eden, to survive and live from the soil where he was to go.
  73. 24. So the man left; and the garden of Eden was subjected to a cataclysm of earthquake and fire, and the motherland lost its foundations, and sank beneath the oceans.
