Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 3:1-24

Man’s Establishment and Fall (Genesis 2:4 to Genesis 3:24 ) TABLET II. Genesis 2:0 and Genesis 3:0 form a unit distinguished by the fact that God is called Yahweh Elohim (Lord God), a usage repeated, and constantly used, all the way through (apart from in the conversation between Eve and the serpent), a phrase which occurs elsewhere in the Pentateuch only once, in Exodus 9:30 where it is connected with the thought that the earth is Yahweh’s. It thus connects with creation. This distinctive... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 3:16

‘To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain, especially in childbearing, in pain you will produce children, and your desire shall be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” ’ In Genesis 1:0 the producing of children is a duty, a privilege and a blessing, but now that duty, privilege and blessing will be accompanied by intense pain. It is in the mercy of God that, in spite of what she has done, she will still be allowed the blessing of producing children. It is the punishment... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 3:1-24

Genesis 3:1-Jeremiah : . Among the animals formed by Yahweh, in His first attempt to provide man with a companion, was the serpent; at that time either a quadruped or holding itself erect. It was eminent among its fellows for cleverness. In antiquity serpents were often regarded as mysteriously gifted with wisdom or cunning, sometimes as good but more often as evil. It is a mistake to think of it here as an incarnation of the devil; the ability to speak and reason is quite commonly... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 3:16

I will greatly multiply, or certainly, as the repetition of the same word implies. And thy conception, in diverse pains and infirmities peculiar to thy sex; i.e. Thou shalt have many, and those ofttimes, false and fruitless conceptions, and abortive births; and whereas thou mightest commonly have had many children at one conception, as some few women yet have, now thou shalt ordinarily undergo all the troubles and pains of conception, breeding, and birth, for every child which thou hast. Or,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 3:13-21

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Genesis 3:13-21THE GENERAL RESULTS OF THE FALL OF OUR FIRST PARENTSI. The result of the fall of our first parents is an eternal enmity between Satan and humanity. “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... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 3:1-24

Genesis 3:0 Consider: (1) some of the consequences, and (2) some of the corroborative proofs of the fall. I. Beside and behind the outward consequences, there were inward results far more terrible. A disease had appeared on earth of the most frightful and inveterate kind. This disease was (1) a moral disease. The grand disease of sin combines all the evil qualities of bodily distempers in a figurative yet real form, and turns not the body, but the soul, into a mass of malady. (2) The disease is... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 3:1-24

Chapter 3Now the serpent was more subtle 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 ( Genesis 3:1 )?Now the serpent was not always what it is today. It didn't always writhe along on the ground. That is a part of the result of the curse-living in the dust, eating the dust. What its mode of propelling itself was we really don't know. Whether or not it was in erect position, whether or not it... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 3:1-24

Genesis 3:1. The serpent. The rabbins and the christian doctors have largely sported their opinions here. St. Cyril contends that Satan assumed the figure of the serpent, and so talked with the woman, while the letter of the text indicates that he spake in the serpent, as the angel spake in Balaam’s ass. The main point here is, the origin of evil, which occasioned the ruin and miseries of man. These most eventful and interesting occurrences were, no doubt, delivered by Adam to Methuselah,... read more

Genesis 3:16In sorrow thou shalt bring forth childrenMotherhood a blessing and an educationI.IN MATERNITY A WOMAN COMPLETES HER NATURE. Every sorrow of body or soul is made into a new thread in the web of affection which she weaves round the life of the child for whom she suffers. II. SHE HAS ANOTHER BLESSING IN A CERTAIN EASE IN LOSING SELF. Men find it less natural to be unselfish. The mother almost spontaneously drops off the robe of self. III.
