17 Then to Adam He said, a“Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree bof which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
c“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
dIn toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
c“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
dIn toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
19 aIn the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
bFor dust you are,
And cto dust you shall return.”
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
bFor dust you are,
And cto dust you shall return.”
20 And Adam called his wife’s name aEve, because she was the mother of all living.
21 Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.
