Adam and Eve knew that they had done wrong in not obeying God's words, and they tried to hide themselves from God's sight among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called, "Adam, where are you?" And Adam said, "Lord, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, and I hid myself." And God said, "Why were you afraid to meet me? Have you eaten the fruit of the tree of which I told you that you must not touch it?" And Adam replied, "The woman whom thou gave to be with me, she gave me some of the fruit, and I ate it." Then God asked the woman, "What is this that you have done?" And Eve said, "The snake told me that it would do me no harm if I should eat it, and so I took some of it and ate it." Then the Lord God commanded unto the snake, "Because you have led Adam and Eve to do wrong, you shall no more walk as do other animals; you shall crawl in the dust and the dirt forever. You shall hate the woman, and the woman shall hate you. You shall try to kill her and her children, and her children's children forever, and they shall try to kill you." And the Lord God said to the woman, "Because you led your husband to disobey me, you shall suffer and have pain and trouble all the days of your life." And God said to Adam, "Because you listened to your wife when she told you to do what was wrong, you too must suffer. You must work for everything that you get from the ground. You will find thorns and thistles and weeds growing on the earth. If you want food, you must dig and plant and reap and work, as long as you live. You came out from the ground, for you were made of dust, and back again into the dust shall your body go when you die." And because Adam and Eve had disobeyed the word of the Lord, they were driven out of the beautiful Garden of Eden, which God had made to be their home. They were sent out into the world; and to keep them from going back into the garden, God placed his angels before its gate, with swords which flashed like fire. So Adam and his wife lost their garden, and no man has ever been able to go into it from that day. ◄ The Story of Creation Navigation and Searching – Terms of Use |
