KJV

16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
* 17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

* NOTE: See discussion of how verse 17 should be translated at Genesis 3:17 - translation.


See an example of biased fundamentalist translation, attempting to accommodate a Literal Reading of verse 20, at Genesis 3:20.


See discussion at The punishment of Adam.
Verse 19 is cited in support of BASF Clause III.
Cited by Jacaf as stating "that death became a law of humanity as a result of Adam’s sin in disobeying God."
