Genesis 2:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ And the Lord God took man, and put him into the paradise of pleasure, to dress it, and to keep it.

¹⁶ And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise thou shalt eat:

¹⁷ But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat. For in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death.
