The Fall-King James Version
There are hardly any breaks in this translation so I will make my own so I can break this translation down too. (Disclaimer: I don't agree with anything the pastor in the top video says).
Verses 1-5
Now the serpent was more subtill than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: but of the fruit of the tree, which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
My thoughts: I love the word choice in the last verse I just copied. "Ye shall not surely die for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your yes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." That is the truth. They are not going to drop dead from eating this fruit. God is afraid that they would be like him because there can only be one "God". We will see this again over and over again. Showing his people that he is the one and only God and all the other gods are false Gods.

Aphrodite and Apollo are examples of Greek Gods. They are not "false God".
Verses 6-10
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked: and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked: and I hid myself.
My thoughts: I think this is a normal reaction to discovering that you are naked. This is also obviously shakespearing language. This translating came out in 1611.

He was the son of Mary, queen of Scots and father of King Charles I. In the 1590's he was fascinated by witchcraft and there were many executions of women who were accused of practicing witchcraft. He had published his own book on Demonology. King James I was gay. There wasn't any mentioned of his translation that was published in 1611 which I thought was weird.
Verses 11-15 (The Serpent's punishment)
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, the woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou has done? And the woman said, The serpent *beguiled me, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
My thoughts: With that line sounding like the snake and the woman and their offspring will be enemies. Now as a woman I have to say, I love snakes. *Beguiled means to charm or enchant someone. Sometimes in a deceptive way.

Verses 16-21
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins and clothes them.
My thoughts: So now He decided to give them clothes. How considerate.

Adam and Eve would be like this if they were real people. Adam would have been a hunter and Eve would have been a gatherer.
Verses 22-24
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
My thoughts: Exile.
