and fdust you shall eat
all the days of your life.

and between your offspring1 and gher offspring;
hhe shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”

“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree

‘You shall not eat of it,’

21 And when the Lord smelled kthe pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again lcurse1 the ground because of man, for mthe intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. nNeither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done.
25 he said,
i“Cursed be Canaan;
ja servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”
