THE TORAH
GENESIS
BEREISHIT
The book of Bereishit (also known as Genesis) is the first book of the Torah. It begins with the creation of the world by G-d in six days. After creating the earth, G-d brings forth Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The first humans are quickly banished from the garden after breaking G-d’s commandment and eating from the Tree of Knowledge. The lineage of humanity is established as the book chronicles the descendants of Adam and Eve. The narrative follows the lives of well-known figures such as Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. The book explores themes of human nature, morality, and faith, as well as the relationship between G-d and humanity. The book ends with the descendants of Abraham settling in Egypt, setting the stage for the following book in the Torah, Exodus.
Chapter 3
Bible reading in Genesis chapter 2
The mistakes of Adam and Eve would not have caused their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Had they only confessed their sin. But they instead went against G-d by implying it is His fault.
“The Sinners Are Punished”
“Man’s Expulsion From Eden”
Of the fruit of the tree which is in the center of the garden God has said: ‘You shall neither eat of it nor touch it, lest you die.’”
3:3
The serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die;
:4
And the woman perceived that the tree was good for eating and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable as a means to wisdom, and she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her and he ate.
:6
They heard the sound of Hashem God manifesting itself in the garden toward evening; and the man and his wife hid from Hashem God among the trees of the garden.
:8
Hashem God called out to the man and said to him. “Where are you?”
:9
The man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me – she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
:12
And Hashem God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done!” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
:13
And Hashem God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, accursed are you beyond all the cattle and beyond all beasts of the field; upon your belly shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life.
:14
By the sweat of your brow shall you eat bread until you return to the ground, from which you were taken; For you are dust, and to dust shall you return.”
:19
1 Now the serpent was cunning, more than all the beasts of the field that the Lord God had made, and it said to the woman, “Did God indeed say, ‘You shall not eat of any of the trees of the garden?’”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, “Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat.
3 But of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God said, “You shall not eat of it, and you shall not touch it, lest you die.’”
4 And the serpent said to the woman, “You will surely not die.
5 For God knows that on the day that you eat thereof, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like angels, knowing good and evil.”
6 And the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes, and the tree was desirable to make one wise; so she took of its fruit, and she ate, and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
7 And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves and made themselves girdles.
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God going in the garden to the direction of the sun, and the man and his wife hid from before the Lord God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called to man, and He said to him, “Where are you?”
10 And he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I am naked; so I hid.”
11 And He said, “Who told you that you are naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
12 And the man said, “The woman whom You gave [to be] with me she gave me of the tree; so I ate.”
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent enticed me, and I ate.”
14 And the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed be you more than all the cattle and more than all the beasts of the field; you shall walk on your belly, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
15 And I shall place hatred between you and between the woman, and between your seed and between her seed. He will crush your head, and you will bite his heel.”
16 To the woman He said, “I shall surely increase your sorrow and your pregnancy; in pain you shall bear children. And to your husband will be your desire, and he will rule over you.”
17 And to man He said, “Because you listened to your wife, and you ate from the tree from which I commanded you saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed be the ground for your sake; with toil shall you eat of it all the days of your life.
18 And it will cause thorns and thistles to grow for you, and you shall eat the herbs of the field.
19 With the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, until you return to the ground, for you were taken therefrom, for dust you are, and to dust you will return.”
20 And the man named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all life.
21 And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife shirts of skin, and He dressed them.
22 Now the Lord God said, “Behold man has become like one of us, having the ability of knowing good and evil, and now, lest he stretch forth his hand and take also from the Tree of Life and eat and live forever.”
23 And the Lord God sent him out of the Garden of Eden, to till the soil, whence he had been taken.
24 And He drove the man out, and He stationed from the east of the Garden of Eden the cherubim and the blade of the revolving sword, to guard the way to the Tree of Life.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
