Gênesis 3:1-20 NVT

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 3:12

Genesis 3:12. The woman thou gavest me, &.— Here observe again another evil fruit of sin: what sad disturbance and overthrow it makes in the once calm, even, and innocent mind! With disingenuous ingratitude Adam attempts to throw all the guilt of his offence even upon his Divine Benefactor, by taxing his best gift, the woman, with being the cause of it—THIS woman, whom THOU gavest to be with me. Instead of acknowledging, with an ingenuous shame, his deep and almost inexcusable violation of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 3:14

Genesis 3:14. The Lord said unto the serpent, &c.— In this and the following verses, we have an account of the sentence which the Lord God passed upon the three delinquents. There is no difficulty in understanding that which was passed on the man and the woman: but various opinions and conjectures have been formed respecting that which was passed upon the serpent. According to our exposition, (see note, Genesis 3:1.) the serpent here before the Lord was a real serpent, made the agent or... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 3:15

Genesis 3:15. And I will put enmity, &c.— If it be evident, that the former part of this sentence principally refers to the natural serpent; it seems no less so, that the latter part refers principally to the spiritual one. For though it is undeniable, that there is a natural enmity between the serpentine and the human race; though, as it is asserted, their juices* are alike destructive to each other: yet it does not appear worthy the majesty of God, or of the Scripture, and by no means... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 3:16

Genesis 3:16. Unto the woman he said, &c.— "Thy sorrow, by thy conception," says Mr. Locke. This has indeed been fulfilled upon the female sex, as no females, it is asserted, know so much sorrow, and so much anguish, during the time of conception, and in the hour of parturition, as those of the human species. Thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee— Whence we may gather, that woman was thus degraded from that equality with man in which she was created, and would... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 3:17

Genesis 3:17. Unto Adam he said, &c.— Now follows the curse of the man, who is doomed to toil and labour for his food and support all the days of his life; labour upon a soil, cursed for his sake, and consequently producing no good of itself, but only thorns and thistles: labour, till his body returned again to the original dust whence it was taken, dying the death denounced upon him, as the sure consequence of his transgression. From the curse passed upon the ground, and the labour now... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 3:19

Genesis 3:19. Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return— The plain inference to be drawn from this part of the sentence is, that the human body would have been preserved from decay and death, immortal and incorruptible, had man persevered in innocence. REFLECTIONS.—Our first parents wanted to be wiser, wanted to see more, and now they are gratified. But oh, what a sight! How preferable had blindness been to such a discovery! 1. They saw their own nakedness; not only of their bodies, but of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 3:20

Genesis 3:20. And Adam called, &c.— Adam had probably expected the immediate infliction of the punishment denounced, thou shalt die; and finding it respited, and that he and his wife were to be the parents of the human race, he therefore gave her this name, in testimony of his joyfulness, Eve, the mother of all living human creatures. But still further: being raised from despair and the fear of death, and being assured of a restoration to life for himself and his posterity, and of a victory... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Genesis 3:1

1. the serpent—The fall of man was effected by the seductions of a serpent. That it was a real serpent is evident from the plain and artless style of the history and from the many allusions made to it in the New Testament. But the material serpent was the instrument or tool of a higher agent, Satan or the devil, to whom the sacred writers apply from this incident the reproachful name of "the dragon, that old serpent" [ :-]. Though Moses makes no mention of this wicked spirit—giving only the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Genesis 3:2

2. the woman said, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden—In her answer, Eve extolled the large extent of liberty they enjoyed in ranging at will amongst all the trees—one only excepted, with respect to which, she declared there was no doubt, either of the prohibition or the penalty. But there is reason to think that she had already received an injurious impression; for in using the words "lest ye die," instead of "ye shall surely die" [ :-], she spoke as if the tree had been... read more
