Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking(A) in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid(B) from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”(C)

10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid(D) because I was naked;(E) so I hid.”

11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked?(F) Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?(G)

12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me(H)—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me,(I) and I ate.”

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

“Cursed(J) are you above all livestock
    and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
    and you will eat dust(K)
    all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring[a](L) and hers;(M)
he will crush[b] your head,(N)
    and you will strike his heel.”

And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in 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?

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

11 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?

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

13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed 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:

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
