16 E para a mulher disse: “Multiplicarei grandemente as tuas dores e teus sofrimentos de parto; com dor darás à luz filhos; e o teu desejo será para o teu marido, e ele te dominará”.

17 E ao homem disse: “Porque deste ouvidos à voz de tua mulher, e comeste da árvore de que te mandei dizendo, ‘Não comerás dela’, maldita será a terra por causa de ti; com dor comerás dela todos os dias da tua vida;

18 Espinhos e cardos te produzirá, e comerás erva do campo.

19 No suor do teu rosto comerás o pão até que voltes à terra, porque dela foste tomado; porque pó és, e ao pó voltarás”.

20 E chamou o homem o nome de sua mulher, Eva; porquanto ela era mãe de todos o viventes.
