Genesis 3

Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made.

He said to the woman, "Yes, has God said, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'" The woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"

The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die, for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit of it, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.

Both of their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

They heard the voice of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.

Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?" The man said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself." God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?" The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate." Yahweh God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."

Yahweh God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above every animal of the field. On your belly shall you go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel." To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."

To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. Thorns also ad thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field. By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

Yahweh God made coats of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them. Yahweh God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he put forth his land, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever..."

Therefore Yahweh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

When someone did mistake, they usually will feel afraid... it is just like a boy crashed her mother's lovely vase, he will afraid of his mother will scold him... same here...

Adam and Eve hid among the trees when they heard Yahweh God's sound... not even seeing Him but only heard the sound... Although their reason for God is because they are naked... but they were naked before eating the fruit that is ban by God! Therefore, that shouldn't be the reason for them to hid away from God...

Beside, I was just realise that when something bad happen, I will firstly blame other but not me myself... How come... and I got the answer here...

When God ask Adam is it he ate the fruit banned?... Adam said the woman given by God gave him the fruit... In other word, he not only saying that it is Eve's fault but also blame God for giving such a woman as his helper...

Then when God ask Eve, she distract the responsible to the serpent... another case of irresponsible to their own mistake...

Although it is the serpent fault, they shouldn't blame other at first but apologize to God.

Through Genesis 3, I also had learn that how come people will hit snake's head when they want to kill it or to protect themselves... it is God's will and also punishment for serpent and also Eve... And I wonder the snake walk before the punishment of God... and why is it there are snake eat human nowadays?... I thought God ask them to eat only dust?!...

Despite all this... God once again show His mercy to us... even though Adam and Eve had did mistake, God still do love them... This can be prove through His act of making coats of skin for both Adam and Eve... although they were being kicked out from Eden but that is the punishment they should receive for not obey God's Words...
