Lego Bible

In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth. No plant or shrub had yet sprung up, for Yahweh God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no one to till the soil. Moisture would well up from the earth and water the surface of the ground.

And man became a living creature.

Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, and there he put the man he had formed. Yahweh God caused to sprout every tree that is pleasing to look at and good for food, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, 'From every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat. For the day that you eat from it you will surely die.'

And from the rib which Yahweh God had taken from the man...

...he made a woman, and brought her to the man.

Now the snake was the shrewdest of any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, 'Has God really said, "You shall not eat from any tree of the garden?"'

The snake said to the woman, 'Surely you will not die! For God knows that on the day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil.'

The woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eyes, and desirable for the knowledge it could give, and she took fruit from it.

They sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves loincloths.

God said, 'Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?'

Yahweh God said to the snake, 'Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers. They will strike your head, and you will strike their heel.'

To the woman he said, 'I will greatly increase your suffering during childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.'
To the man he said, 'You have listened to your wife, eating from the tree about which I commanded you, "Do not eat from it." Therefore, cursed is the ground because of you. In anguish you shall till it all the days of your life. It will yield you thorns and thistles. By the sweat of your face will you win your bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. You are dust, and to dust you shall return.'

He drove the man away and stationed cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
