“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 ^fdust you shall eat

all the days of your life.

“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife

and have eaten of the tree

^lof which I commanded you,

‘You shall not eat of it,’

^mcursed is the ground because of you;

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