FIRST LESSON (Genesis 3:8-15)
Adam and Eve rebel against God.
When evening came they heard the Lord God walking in the garden.
They went to a secluded place among the trees of the garden to hide from God.
Then God called to Adam, "Where are you?"
Adam answered, "I heard your voice in the garden.
Because I was naked, I was afraid and tried to hide."
God asked, "Who told you that you were naked?
Did you eat the fruit from the tree that I told you not to eat?"
Adam answered, "The woman you gave to be with me offered me the fruit of the tree
and I ate it."
God spoke to the woman, "Why did you do this?"
She replied, "The snake tricked me into eating it."
God said to the snake,
"You will punished for this.
You alone among all the animals will bear this curse.
On your belly you will crawl,
and you will eat dust as long as you live.
From now on you will strike fear in the hearts of the people
of all generations.
When you attack their heels, they will crush your head."
Thanks be to God.
