Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 3:6

"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 desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he did eat."Davis mistakenly believed that, "Sin, here, is not a breaking of a law."[14] However, there was the breaking of a law, God's law that they should not eat of that certain tree; thus, the action here lies clearly within the perimeter of the N.T.... read more

CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR SIN"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 Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day; and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden."What a tragic failure of Satan's glorying promises! "Like God?" Well, God was never ashamed, conscious of an intolerable nakedness, fearful,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 3:9

"And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou?"This is one of the great questions of the Bible, "Adam, where art thou?" It is connected schematically with another great question that occurs at the beginning of the N.T., where it is stated that the wise men came, saying, "Where is he, that is born king of the Jews?" (Matthew 2:2) Thus, the O.T. begins with God seeking man; and the N.T. begins with man seeking God. Without the initiative of the Father apparent here,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 3:10-11

"And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?"There was no way for Adam to hide his sinful condition from God. The mention of his nakedness and his hiding laid bare his ugly secret. It should never be supposed that Adam's actions were in any manner a surprise to God. Even before the foundation of the world, and... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 3:12

"And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."Adam's response was weak and insufficient. He did not confess his sin, except in a most reluctant and inadequate manner, and he coupled it with a flimsy excuse to the effect that maybe God Himself was to blame, for He had given to Adam the woman who had given the fruit of the tree, so what else was there for Adam to do but to eat! read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 3:13

"And Jehovah God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.""What is this that thou hast done? ..." The meaning of this is: "How could you have done such a thing!" It is the same expression used by the pagan sailors who reproached Jonah with the words, "What is this that thou hast done?" (Jonah 1:10). As Whitelaw pointed out, "It is the language of one who wonders as at something prodigious."[16] In Eve's reply, there is... read more

THE CURSE OF THE SERPENT"And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou 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."God tacitly acknowledged the greater blame in the situation as belonging to the serpent, therefore the curse fell on it immediately. The blameworthiness of the serpent which appears here requires the understanding, either that the serpent is truly... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 3:15

"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."Many scholars cannot recognize this as the great Protoevangelium of the O.T., which of course, it surely is. Their blindness is due to their failure to recognize that the key to understanding the O.T. is Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 3:15,16). The terminology of this verse is such that it cannot apply to anything in heaven or upon earth except the long... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 3:16

"Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy conception; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.""Thy pain and thy conception ..." The frightful pangs of childbirth do not appear in nature in similar situations in the lower creation, and they are a continual reminder to all men of the fallen estate of the race. Note also that the "conception" of Eve would be multiplied. This would appear to have no... read more

THE PENALTY UPON ADAM"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; and in toil 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... read more
