  "2": "The woman answered him, “{No,} {God said that} we may eat fruit from {any of} the tree{s} in the garden, ",
  "3": "except fruit from the tree that is in the center of the garden. He commanded {us} to not eat that fruit or even touch it, because if we do, we will die!”\n\n\\ts\\* ",
  "4": "But the snake said to the woman, “{That is not true.} You will not die. ",
  "5": "Actually, God knows that as soon as you eat {fruit} from that tree, you will understand new things, so that you will know {what is} right and {what is} wrong just like God does.” ",
  "6": "The woman saw that the tree{’s fruit} {looked} good to eat and that the tree {itself} was {very} beautiful. She also wanted {to eat} the fruit so that it would make her wise. So she picked some of the fruit {off the tree} and ate it. She also gave {some of the fruit} to her husband, {who was} {there} with her, and he ate {it} {too}.\n\n\\ts\\* ",
  "7": "Suddenly they both understood new things, and they realized that their bodies {were} bare. So they sewed {some} fig {tree} leaves together and made clothes for themselves {to cover their nakedness}.\n\\p",

  "9": "So Yahweh God called {out} to the man, “{Adam,} where are you?” ",
  "10": "The man replied, “I heard the sound of you {walking} in the garden, but I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid {from you}.” ",
  "11": "Then Yahweh God asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you {disobey me and} eat {fruit} from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”\n\n\\ts\\* ",
  "12": "The man replied, “The woman whom you put here {to be} with me, she {is the one who} gave me some of that fruit, so I ate {it}.” ",
  "13": "Then Yahweh God asked the woman, “What did you do?” The woman replied, “The snake tricked me, so I ate {some of the fruit}.”\n\n\\ts\\* ",
  "14": "So Yahweh God said to the snake, “Because you did that,\n\\q1\nI am cursing you more {severely} than all the livestock\n\\q2\nand all the animals in the fields!\n\\q1\n{As a result,} you must crawl {along the ground} on your belly,\n\\q2\nand you will eat dust {with your food}\n\\q2\nfor as long as you live.\n\\q1 ",
  "15": "Besides that, I will cause you and your descendants to be enemies\n\\q2\nwith the woman and her descendants.\n\\q1\n{In fact,} her descendant will crush your head,\n\\q2\nand you will bite his heel.”\n\\ts\\*\n\\p",
  "16": "{Then} God said to the woman,\n\\q1\n“I will greatly increase how much you suffer when you bear children,\n\\q2\n{yes,} you will suffer {much pain} when you give birth.\n\\q1\nBut you will {still} desire {to be with} your husband,\n\\q2\nand he will dominate you.”\n\\ts\\*\n\\p",
  "17": "Then God said to Adam, “You did what your wife said and ate {fruit} from the tree that I commanded you not to eat {any fruit} from. \n\\q1\nBecause of what you did, I have cursed the ground. \n\\q2\n{As a result,} for as long as you live,\n\\q2\nyou will have to work {very} hard and suffer {to grow enough food} to eat. \n\\q1 ",
  "18": "In fact, thorn plants and thistle plants {and other weeds} will grow from the ground\n\\q2\n{and make it difficult} for you to grow {enough} crops in your fields for food.\n\\q1 ",
  "19": "You will have to {work hard and} sweat a lot\n\\q2\nin order to {produce} {enough} food to eat,\n\\q1\nuntil you {die and} again become dirt,\n\\q2\nwhich I created you from.\n\\q1\nYes, {I created} you out of dirt,\n\\q2\nso dirt is what you will become again {after you die}.”\n\\ts\\*\n\\p",

  "21": "Then Yahweh God made {some} clothes out of {animal} skins for Adam and his wife, and he put the clothes on them.\n\n\\ts\\*\n\\p",
  "22": "Then Yahweh God said {to himself}, “Look! The man {and his wife} have become like one of us, so that they know {what is} good and {what is} evil. So now we must do something so that they do not also pick and eat {fruit} from the tree that gives people {eternal} life, which will make them live forever!” ",
