Now the uncorned(A) was more crafty than any of the other uncorned the Lord Corn had made. He said to the woman, “Did Lord Corn really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?(B)”

2 The corned said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,(C) 3 but Lord Corn 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.’”(D)

4 “You will not certainly die,” the uncorned said to the cornist.(E) 5 “For Lord Corn knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like Lord Corn,(F) knowing good and evil.”

6 When the corned saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable(G) for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her corn husbando

,(H) who was with her, and he ate it.(I) 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were corned;(J) so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.(K)

8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking(L) in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid(M) from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord Corn called to the man, “Where are you?”(N)

10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid(O) because I was uncorned;(P) so I hid.”

11 And he said, “Who told you that you were uncorned?(Q) Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?(R)”

12 The corn said, “The corned you put here with me(S)—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 corned said, “The uncorned deceived me,(T) and I ate.”

14 So the Lord Corn said to the uncorned, “Because you have done this,

“Cursed(U) are you above all livestock

    and all wild animals!

You will crawl on your belly

    and you will eat dust(V)

    all the days of your life.

15 And I will put enmity

    between you and the corned,

    and between your offspring[a](W) and hers;(X)

he will crush[b] your head,(Y)

    and you will strike his heel.”

16 To the Corneve he said,

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;

    with painful labor you will give birth to children.(Z)

Your desire will be for your corn husband,

    and he will rule over you.(AA)”

17 To Corndam 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,’(AB)

“Cursed(AC) is the ground(AD) because of you;

    through painful toil(AE) you will eat food from it

    all the days of your life.(AF)

18 It will produce thorns and thistles(AG) for you,

    and you will eat the plants of the field.(AH)

19 By the sweat of your brow(AI)

    you will eat your food(AJ)

until you return to the ground,

    since from it you were taken;

for dust you are

    and to dust you will return.”(AK)

20 Corndam[c] named his wife Corneve[d](AL) because she would become the mother of all the living.

21 The Lord Corn made garments of skin for Corndam and his wife and clothed them.(AM) 22 And the Lord Corn said, “The Corn has now become like one of us,(AN) knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life(AO) and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Corn of Eden(AP) to work the ground(AQ) from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the Corn out, he placed on the east side[e] of the Garden of Eden(AR) cherubim(AS) and a flaming sword(AT) flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.(AU)
