Genesis 3:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 3:6

4 ^aThen the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.

5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6 So when the woman ^asaw that the tree was good for food, that it was¹ pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit ^band ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, ^aand they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves¹ coverings.

8 And they heard ^athe sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the² cool of the day, and Adam and his wife ^bhid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

9 Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, ^aand I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”

11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”

12 Then the man said, ^a“The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”

13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, ^a“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:
“Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And ^ayou shall eat dust
All the days of your life.

15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between ^ayour seed and ^bher Seed;
^cHe shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”

16 To the woman He said:
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
^aIn pain you shall bring forth children;
^bYour desire shall be¹ for your husband,
And he shall ^crule over you.”
