16 En die HERE God het aan die mens bevel gegee en gesê: Van al die bome van die tuin mag jy vry eet,

17 maar van die boom van die kennis van goed en kwaad, daarvan mag jy nie eet nie; want die dag as jy daarvan eet, sal jy sekerlik sterwe.

16 And the Lord God gave the man orders, saying, You may freely take of the fruit of every tree of the garden:

17 But of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not take; for on the day when you take of it, death will certainly come to you.
