...to the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed among all living things and beasts of the earth: upon your breast you shall go, and you shall eat earth all the days of your life. 15. I will put enmities between you and the woman, and your seed and her seed: she shall crush your head, and you shall lie in wait for her heel. 16. To the woman also he said, I will multiply your sorrows and your conceptions; in sorrow you shall bring forth children, and you shall be under your husband's power, and he shall have dominion over you. 17. But to Adam he said, Because you have hearkened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat, cursed is the earth in your work; in labors you shall eat of it all the days of your life. 18. Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you, and you shall eat the herbs of the earth. 19. In the sweat of your face you shall eat your bread, until you return to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are, and into dust you shall return. 20. And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living. 21. The Lord God also made for Adam and his wife garments of skins, and clothed them. 22. And he said, Behold, Adam has become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever. 23. The Lord God sent him out of the Paradise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken. 24. And he cast Adam out, and placed before the Paradise of pleasure Cherubim, and a flaming and turning sword, to keep the way of the tree of life.¹

...serpentem, quia fecisti hoc, maledictus es inter omnia animantia & bestias terrae: super pectus tuum gradieris, & terram comedes cunctis diebus vitae tuae. 15. Inimicitias ponam inter te & mulierem, & semen tuum & semen illius: ipsum conteret caput tuum, & tu insidiaberis calcaneo eius. 16. Mulieri quoque dixit, Multiplicabo aerumnas tuas, & conceptus tuos, in dolore paries filios, & sub viri potestate eris, & ipse dominabitur tui. 17. Adae vero dixit, Quia audisti vocem uxoris tuae, & comedisti de ligno ex quo praeceperam tibi ne comederes, maledicta terra in opere tuo, in laboribus comedes ex ea cunctis diebus vitae tuae. 18. Spinas & tribulos germinabit tibi, & comedes herbas terrae. 19. In sudore vultus tui vesceris pane tuo, donec revertaris in terram de qua sumptus es: quia pulvis es, & in pulverem reverteris. 20. Et vocavit Adam nomen uxoris suae Eva: eo quod mater esset cunctorum viventium. 21. Fecit quoque Dominus Deus Adae & uxori eius tunicas pelliceas, & induit eos. 22. Et ait, Ecce Adam quasi unus ex nobis factus est, sciens bonum & malum: nunc ergo ne forte mittat manum suam, & sumat etiam de ligno vitae, & comedat, & vivat in aeternum. 23. Emisit eum Dominus Deus de Paradiso voluptatis, ut operaretur terram de qua sumptus est. 24. Eiecitque Adam, & collocavit ante Paradisum voluptatis Cherubin, & flammeum gladium atque versatilem, ad custodiendam viam ligni vitae.
