“Because you have done this,

cursed are you above all livestock

and above all beasts of the field;

on your belly you shall go,

and ^vdust you shall eat

all the days of your life.

^a“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife

and have ^beaten of the tree

of which I commanded you,

‘You shall not eat of it,’

^ccursed is the ground because of you;

in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;

“Cursed be Canaan;

^qa servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”
