Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 3:1-13

The Temptation Genesis 3:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS There are some very vital questions which naturally tome to most minds. These we will seek to answer. 1. Did God know that man would sin when He created him? This question has been asked us on various occasions, and we have always replied, that God did know. Known unto God are all of His works from the creation. God knew that man would sin before He created him, because Jesus Christ was a Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world, and... read more

The First Woman Genesis 2:20-25 ; Genesis 3:1-16 INTRODUCTORY WORDS When we enter into the Bible story of creation there is something that makes it all seem so real, so definite, and so certain. Evolution has nothing of certainty in it; the story of creation has everything. For instance, the whole earth was prepared for God's creation of man. Everything that man needed for sustenance, for clothing, for pleasure, was to be found in the physical creation. Thus, as we enter the Garden of Eden,... read more

The Cross in Genesis Genesis 2:22-25 ; Genesis 3:1-24 INTRODUCTORY WORDS If Jesus Christ, in the purposes of God, was given to die before the world was formed, or before man was created; and if man, when he sinned, had no other way of salvation than through the Cross; and if God, in mercy, desired the salvation of the first fallen pair, we certainly would expect to find, in the opening chapters of Genesis, definite statements concerning Christ's Calvary work. It will be the purpose of this... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:8

CONCEALMENT FROM GOD IMPOSSIBLE‘Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.’ Genesis 3:8 I. That which strikes us first of all is, that Adam represents the average sinner.—A man may do worse than Adam. Many men have done and do worse than hide themselves from God after outraging Him by sin. Adam’s conduct proves that the sense of God’s presence, awfulness, greatness, was still intact in his soul. II. ‘They hid themselves.’—It was not the... read more

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 3:8

Genesis 3:8 a ‘And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze (ruach - literally “‘in the wind of the day”)’. It may well be that they had communed with God each evening, and that the sound in the trees had indicated to them His presence. It would have brought to them the thrill and joy of worship. But now the overtones are different. Now the sound is to them the approach of a vengeful God which is made known to them by the sound of the wind in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 3:9

‘And the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” ’ God speaks directly to the man. This is no vague call but a word spoken directly to the heart. God, of course, knew where he was, but He was making him face up to his present situation. He was giving him a chance to express his deep sorrow and repentance. 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 3:8

The voice of the Lord God, mentioned Genesis 3:9, or rather the sound, as the word voice is often taken in Scripture, as Psalms 93:3; Revelation 10:3; Revelation 19:6. Either God the Father, or rather God the Son, appeared in the shape of a man, as afterwards he frequently did, to give a foretaste of his incarnation. About evening, the time when men use to walk abroad to recreate themselves, when there was a cool and refreshing wind, whereby also the voice of the Lord was more speedily and... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 3:9

The Lord God called with a loud voice: Thou whom I have so highly obliged, whither and wherefore dost thou run away from me, thy Friend and Father, whose presence was lately so sweet and acceptable to thee? In what place, or rather in what condition, art thou? What is the cause of this sudden and wonderful change? This he asks, not that he was ignorant of it, but to make way for the following sentence, and to set a pattern for all judges, that they should examine the offender, and inquire into... read more
