3:1And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, `Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of the garden?'

3:2And the woman saith unto the serpent, `Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,

3:3and of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.'

3:4And the serpent saith unto the woman, `Dying, ye do not die,

3:5for God doth know that in the day of your eating of it -- your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, knowing good and evil.'

3:6And the woman seeth that the tree is good for food, and that it is pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make one wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat;

3:7and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they are naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make to themselves girdles.

3:8And they hear the sound of Jehovah God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hide themselves from the face of Jehovah God in the midst of the trees of the garden.

3:9And Jehovah God calleth unto the man, and saith to him, `Where art thou?'

3:10and he saith, `Thy sound I have heard in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.'

3:11And He saith, `Who hath declared to thee that thou art naked? of the tree of which I have commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?'

3:12and the man saith, `The woman whom Thou didst place with me -- she hath given to me of the tree -- and I do eat.'

3:13And Jehovah God saith to the woman, `What is this thou hast done?' and the woman saith, `The serpent hath caused me to forget -- and I do eat.'

3:14And Jehovah God saith unto the serpent, `Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field: on thy belly dost thou go, and dust thou dost eat, all days of thy life;

3:15and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee -- the head, and thou dost bruise him -- the heel.'

3:16Unto the woman He said, `Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and toward thy husband is thy desire, and he doth rule over thee.'

3:17And to the man He said, `Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and dost eat of the tree concerning which I have charged thee, saying, Thou dost not eat of it, cursed is the ground on thine account; in sorrow thou dost eat of it all days of thy life,

3:18and thorn and bramble it doth bring forth to thee, and thou hast eaten the herb of the field;

3:19by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou art, and unto dust thou turnest back.'

3:20And the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living.

3:21And Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe them.

3:22And Jehovah God saith, `Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,' --

3:23Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he hath been taken;

3:24yea, he casteth out the man, and causeth to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flame of the sword which is turning itself round to guard the way of the tree of life.

4:1And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceiveth and beareth Cain, and saith, `I have gotten a man by Jehovah;'

4:2and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground.

4:3And it cometh to pass at the end of days that Cain bringeth from the fruit of the ground a present to Jehovah;

4:4and Abel, he hath brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, even from their fat ones; and Jehovah looketh unto Abel and unto his present,

4:5and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.

4:6And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy countenance fallen?

4:7Is there not, if thou dost well, acceptance? and if thou dost not well, at the opening a sin-offering is crouching, and unto thee its desire, and thou rulest over it.'

4:8And Cain saith unto Abel his brother, `Let us go into the field;' and it cometh to pass in their being in the field, that Cain riseth up against Abel his brother, and slayeth him.

4:9And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Where is Abel thy brother?' and he saith, `I have not known; my brother's keeper -- I?'

4:10And He saith, `What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground;

4:11and now, cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand;

4:12when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee -- a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.'

4:13And Cain saith unto Jehovah, `Greater is my punishment than to be borne;

4:14lo, Thou hast driven me to-day from off the face of the ground, and from Thy face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been -- every one finding me doth slay me.'

4:15And Jehovah saith to him, `Therefore -- of any slayer of Cain sevenfold it is required;' and Jehovah setteth to Cain a token that none finding him doth slay him.

4:16And Cain goeth out from before Jehovah, and dwelleth in the land, moving about east of Eden;

4:17and Cain knoweth his wife, and she conceiveth, and beareth Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calleth the name of the city, according to the name of his son -- Enoch.

4:18And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad hath begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael hath begotten Methusael; and Methusael hath begotten Lamech.

4:19And Lamech taketh to himself two wives, the name of the one Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.

4:20And Adah beareth Jabal, he hath been father of those inhabiting tents and purchased possessions;

4:21and the name of his brother is Jubal, he hath been father of every one handling harp and organ.

4:22And Zillah she also bare Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain is Naamah.

4:23And Lamech saith to his wives: -- `Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear to my saying: For a man I have slain for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt;

4:24For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy and sevenfold.'

4:25And Adam again knoweth his wife, and she beareth a son, and calleth his name Seth, `for God hath appointed for me another seed instead of Abel:' for Cain had slain him.

4:26And to Seth, to him also a son hath been born, and he calleth his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the name of Jehovah.

5:1This is an account of the births of Adam: In the day of God's preparing man, in the likeness of God He hath made him;

5:2a male and a female He hath prepared them, and He blesseth them, and calleth their name Man, in the day of their being prepared.

5:3And Adam liveth an hundred and thirty years, and begetteth a son in his likeness, according to his image, and calleth his name Seth.

5:22And Enoch walketh habitually with God after his begetting Methuselah three hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

5:23And all the days of Enoch are three hundred and sixty and five years.
