始祖被誘惑
3 耶和華神所造的，唯有蛇比田野一切的活物更狡猾。蛇對女人說：「神豈是真說，不許你們吃園中所有樹上的果子嗎？」 2 女人對蛇說：「園中樹上的果子我們可以吃， 3 唯有園當中那棵樹上的果子，神曾說：『你們不可吃，也不可摸，免得你們死。』」 4 蛇對女人說：「你們不一定死！ 5 因為神知道你們吃的日子眼睛就明亮了，你們便如神能知道善惡。」
違背主命
6 於是女人見那棵樹的果子好做食物，也悅人的眼目，且是可喜愛的，能使人有智慧，就摘下果子來吃了；又給她丈夫，她丈夫也吃了。 7 他們二人的眼睛就明亮了，才知道自己是赤身露體，便拿無花果樹的葉子，為自己編做裙子。 8 天起了涼風，耶和華神在園中行走，那人和他妻子聽見神的聲音，就藏在園裡的樹木中，躲避耶和華神的面。 9 耶和華神呼喚那人，對他說：「你在哪裡？」 10 他說：「我在園中聽見你的聲音，我就害怕，因為我赤身露體。我便藏了。」 11 耶和華說：「誰告訴你赤身露體呢？莫非你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那樹上的果子嗎？」 12 那人說：「你所賜給我與我同居的女人，她把那樹上的果子給我，我就吃了。」 13 耶和華神對女人說：「你做的是什麼事呢？」女人說：「那蛇引誘我，我就吃了。」 14 耶和華神對蛇說：「你既做了這事，就必受咒詛，比一切的牲畜野獸更甚！你必用肚子行走，終身吃土。 15 我又要叫你和女人彼此為仇，你的後裔和女人的後裔也彼此為仇，女人的後裔要傷你的頭，你要傷他的腳跟。」 16 又對女人說：「我必多多加增你懷胎的苦楚，你生產兒女必多受苦楚。你必戀慕你丈夫，你丈夫必管轄你。」 17 又對亞當說：「你既聽從妻子的話，吃了我所吩咐你不可吃的那樹上的果子，地必為你的緣故受咒詛，你必終身勞苦，才能從地裡得吃的。 18 地必給你長出荊棘和蒺藜來，你也要吃田間的菜蔬。 19 你必汗流滿面才得糊口，直到你歸了土，因為你是從土而出的。你本是塵土，仍要歸於塵土。」 20 亞當給他妻子起名叫夏娃，因為她是眾生之母。 21 耶和華神為亞當和他妻子用皮子做衣服給他們穿。
