BIBLE (3 verse): Genesis 3:17-19 -- “17 And to Adam he (i.e. Yahweh Elohim) said, ‘Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; with discomfort you shall eat (of) it all the days of your life; 18 and thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the grass of the field. 19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you will return.’ ”

KORAN (4 verse): Changed -- Sura al-Baqara 2:36 -- “So Satan caused them to slip (or trip by mistake) out of it (the Jannah garden) and caused them to get out from that, in which they had been.

And you will have on the earth an abode and enjoyment for a time.’ ” -- Sura al-A'raf 7:24 -- “He (i.e. Allah) said, ‘Get you down (from the Jannah garden), (being) enemies to one another! And you will have on the earth an abode and enjoyment for a time.’ ” -- Sura Ta Ha 20:55 -- “From it (i.e. the earth) we (i.e. Allah) have created you, and into it we will make you return, and from it we will cause you to get out once again.” -- Sura al-Hajj 22:66 -- “And it was he (i.e. Allah), who caused you to be alive; then he causes you to die; then he causes you to be alive (again in the resurrection?). (Truly) the human being (as a kind) is (truly) disbelieving.”
