sewing fig leaves

the serpent, more crafty than any other creature

did GOD really say

we may eat, except for The Tree in the middle of the garden; we must not touch it for we will die

you will not surely die, you will be like GOD

woman saw the fruit of The Tree, pleasing to the eye, good for food , desirable for gaining wisdom

she took some and ate, she gave to her husband, and he ate

the eyes of them both were opened

man and wife realized they were naked

made coverings of fig leaves for themselves

heard the sound of the LORD GOD walking in the garden

hid from the LORD GOD

where are you

I was afraid because I was naked

who told you; have you eaten from The Tree about which i commanded you

it was the woman whom you gave

what have you done

it was the serpent which you created

to the serpent he said, cursed are you above all creatures; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel

to the woman he said, i will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; your desire will be for you husband, your husband will rule over you

to adam he said, cursed is the ground because you have done this; it will produce thorns and thistles; for dust you are and to dust you will return

adam named his wife eve

the LORD GOD made coverings of skin, the first sacrifice

the LORD GOD said, man has now become like us, knowing good and evil; he can not be allowed to reach and take from The Tree Of Life and so live forever

so the LORD GOD banished the man and the woman from the garden

after this, the LORD GOD placed a cherubim and a flaming sword on the east side of the garden to guard the way to The Tree Of Life
