This is The History of the Heavens and the Earth, when they were
Created, in The Day that The Lord
God, made the Earth and the Heavens, before any plant of the field was in the
Earth, and before any herb of the field had grown. For The Lord
God had NOT caused it to rain on the Earth, and there was no Man to till the ground;
but a Mist went up from the Earth, and watered The Whole Face of the
Ground. And The Lord God, formed Man (Adam) of the dust of the ground, and Breathed into His (Adam’s) Nostrils, The Breath of Life (His Spirit, His Soul); and Man (Adam)
became a Living Being (with a Spirit, a Soul).
The Lord
God, Planted a Garden, eastward in Eden, and there He (God Almighty) put the
Man (Adam), whom He (God Almighty) had Formed.
And out of the ground, The Lord
God made every tree grow that is pleasant, to the sight, and good for
food. The Tree of Life, was also in The Midst of The Garden,
and The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and evil.
Then
The Lord
God took the Man (Adam), and put Him (Adam) in The Garden of Eden, to tend and
keep it. And The Lord God Commanded
the Man (Adam), saying, “Of Every Tree of The Garden, YOU (Adam) may freely
eat; but of The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and evil, YOU (Adam) shall NOT eat, for in The Day that YOU (Adam) eat
of it, YOU (Adam) shall surely Die.”
And
The Lord
God said, “It is NOT Good, that Man (Adam) should be alone;
I (God Almighty) will make Him (Adam) a Helper, Comparable to Him (Adam).” And The Lord God, caused a Deep Sleep, to fall on
Adam, and He (Adam) slept; and He (God Almighty) took one of His (Adam’s) Ribs,
and closed up the flesh, in its place.
Then the rib (Adam’s) which The Lord God had taken from Man (Adam), He (God
Almighty) made into a Woman (Eve), and He (God Almighty) brought Her (Eve) to
the Man (Adam). And Adam said: “This (Eve) is now, bone of My Bones, and flesh of My Flesh; She (Eve) shall be
called, Woman, because She (Eve) was taken out of Man
(Adam).” Therefore, a Man shall leave His Father and Mother, and be joined to
His Wife, and They shall become, One Flesh.
And They were both naked, the Man (Adam) and His Wife (Eve), and were NOT ashamed.
Now, the serpent was more cunning, than any beast of
the field, which The Lord God had made. And he (the serpent) said to the Woman (Eve),
“Has God indeed said, ‘YOU shall NOT eat, of EVERY Tree of The Garden’?”
And the Woman (Eve) said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of The Trees
of The Garden; but of the fruit of The Tree (The Tree of The Knowledge of Good
and evil) which is in The Midst
of The Garden, God has said, ‘YOU (Adam or Eve) shall NOT eat It (The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and evil), nor shall YOU
(Adam or Eve) touch It (The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and evil), lest YOU
(Adam or Eve) die.’” Then the serpent,
said to the Woman (Eve), “YOU (Eve) will NOT surely
die. For God knows, that in The Day, YOU
(Adam or Eve) eat of It (The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and evil), your eyes
(Adam’s or Eve’s) will be Opened, and YOU (Adam or Eve) will be like God,
knowing Good and evil.”
So, when the Woman (Eve) saw that The Tree (The Tree
of The Knowledge of Good and evil) was
good for food, that It (The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and evil) was pleasant to the eyes, and a Tree
(The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and evil) desirable to make one wise, She (Eve) took of Its (The
Tree of The Knowledge of Good and evil) fruit and ate. She (Eve) also gave to Her Husband (Adam)
with Her (Eve), and He (Adam) ate. Then,
The Eyes of both of Them (Adam’s and Eve’s) were Opened, and They (Adam and
Eve) knew, that They (Adam and Eve) were
naked; and They (Adam and Eve) sewed fig leaves together and made Themselves (Adam
and Eve) coverings. And They (Adam and
Eve) heard The Sound of The Lord God, Walking in The Garden, in the
cool of the day, and Adam and His Wife (Eve) hid Themselves (Adam and Eve) from
The Presence of The Lord God, among The Trees of The Garden.
Then The Lord God called to Adam and said to Him
(Adam), “Where are YOU (Adam)?” So He (Adam) said, “I heard Your (God
Almighty’s) Voice in The Garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I
hid Myself.” And He (God Almighty) said,
“Who told YOU (Adam) that YOU (Adam) were
naked? Have YOU (Adam) eaten from The Tree
(The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and evil) of which I (God Almighty) Commanded
YOU (Adam) that YOU (Adam) should NOT eat?” Then the Man (Adam)
said, “The Woman (Eve), whom YOU (God Almighty) gave to be with Me (Adam), She (Eve) gave Me (Adam) of The Tree (The
Tree of The Knowledge of Good and evil), and I (Adam) ate.” And The Lord God said to
the Woman (Eve), “What is this
YOU (Eve) have done?” The Woman (Eve)
said, “The serpent deceived Me (Eve), and I (Eve) ate.”
So, The Lord God said to the serpent: “Because
YOU (the serpent) have done this, YOU (the serpent) are
Cursed, more than all cattle, and more than every beast
of the field; on your (the serpent’s) belly, YOU (the
serpent) shall go, and YOU (the serpent) shall eat dust,
All the days of your (the serpent’s) life. And I (God Almighty) will
put enmity (hostility), between YOU (the serpent) and
the Woman (Eve), and between your (the serpent’s) seed and
Her Seed (Eve’s, i.e. Mankind); He (Mankind) shall
bruise your (the serpent’s) head, and YOU (the serpent)
shall bruise His (Mankind’s) Heel.”
To the Woman (Eve) He (God Almighty) said: “I (God
Almighty) will greatly multiply your (Eve’s and All Women’s) sorrow, and your (Eve’s
and All Women’s) conception; in pain, YOU (Eve and All Women) shall bring forth Children; Your (Eve’s and All Women’s) Desire, shall be for Your Husband (Adam and All Men), and He (Adam and All Men) shall rule over YOU (Eve and All Women).”
Then to Adam, He (God Almighty) said, “Because YOU
(Adam) have heeded, The Voice of Your Wife (Eve’s), and have eaten from The Tree
(The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and evil) of which I (God Almighty)
Commanded YOU (Adam), saying, ‘YOU (Adam) shall NOT eat of It (The Tree of The
Knowledge of Good and evil)’: “Cursed is
the ground, for your (Adam’s) sake; in toil, YOU (Adam
and All Men) shall eat of it,
All the days of Your (Adam’s and All Men’s) Life. Both thorns and thistles, it
shall bring forth for YOU (Adam and All Men), and YOU
(Adam and All Men) shall eat, the herb of the field. In the sweat of your (Adam’s
and All Men’s) face, YOU (Adam and All Men) shall eat bread, till YOU (Adam and All Men) return to the ground, for out of it, YOU (Adam and All Men) were taken; for dust YOU (Adam and All Men) are, and to dust YOU (Adam and All Men)
shall return.”
And Adam called His Wife’s Name, Eve, because She (Eve)
was The Mother of All Living (All Mankind).
Also, for Adam and His Wife (Eve), The Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed
Them (Adam and Eve).
