This is my Torah portion (both Hebrew & English) that I will be reciting at my Bar Mitzvah.
18 HASHEM G-d said: “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper corresponding to him.” 19 Now, HASHEM G-d had formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them; and whatsoever the man would call every living creature, that was to be the name thereof. 20 And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him. 21 So HASHEM G-d caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the place with flesh instead thereof. 22 Then HASHEM G-d fashioned the side that He has taken from the man into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23 And the man said: “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh. 25 They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. 1 Now the serpent was cunning beyond any beast of the field that HASHEM G-d had made. And he said unto the woman: “Did, perhaps, G-d say: ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'” 2 And the woman said unto the serpent: “Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; 3 Of the fruit of the tree which is in the center of the garden, G-d has said: ‘You shall neither eat of it nor touch it, lest you die.’” 4 The serpent said unto the woman: 'You will not surely die; 5 for G-d knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like G-d, knowing good and bad.” 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves girdles. 8 They heard the sound of HASHEM G-d manifesting Itself in the garden toward evening; and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the HASHEM G-d amongst the trees of the garden. 9 HASHEM G-d called unto the man, and said unto him: “Where are you?” 10 He said: “I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.” 11 And He said: “Who told thee that thou were naked? Have you eaten of the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 The man said: “The woman whom you gave to be with me - she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.” 13 And HASHEM G-d said unto the woman: “What is this that you have done?” And the woman said: “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” 14 And HASHEM G-d 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 bell shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will pound your head, and you will bite his heel.”
