Genesis 3:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 3:12

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.”

17 Then to Adam He said, ^a“Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree ^bof which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
^c“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
^dIn toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.

18 Both thorns and thistles it shall¹ bring forth for you,
And ^ayou shall eat the herb of the field.

19 ^aIn the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
^bFor dust you are,
And ^cto dust you shall return.”

20 And Adam called his wife’s name ^aEve, because she was the mother of all living.

21 Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.
