Genesis 3:23 in Context — Genesis 3

21 L’Éternel Dieu fit à Adam et à sa femme des habits de peau, et il les en revêtit.

22 L’Éternel Dieu dit: Voici, l’homme est devenu comme l’un de nous, pour la connaissance du bien et du mal. Empêchons-le maintenant d’avancer sa main, de prendre de l’arbre de vie, d’en manger, et de vivre éternellement.

23 Et l’Éternel Dieu le chassa du jardin d’Éden, pour qu’il cultivât la terre, d’où il avait été pris.

24 C’est ainsi qu’il chassa Adam; et il mit à l’orient du jardin d’Éden les chérubins qui agitent une épée flamboyante, pour garder le chemin de l’arbre de vie.
