Gênesis 3:1-20 NVT

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 3:19

Verse 19 19.In the sweat of thy face. Some indeed, translate it ‘labor;’ the translation, however, is forced. But by “sweat” is understood hard labor and full of fatigue and weariness, which, by its difficulty produces sweat. It is a repetition of the former sentence, where it was said, ‘Thou shalt eat it in labor.’ Under the cover of this passage, certain ignorant persons would rashly impel all men to manual labor; for God is not here teaching as a master or legislator, but only denouncing... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 3:20

Verse 20 20.And Adam called, etc. There are two ways in which this may be read. The former, in the pluperfect tense, ‘Adam had called.’ If we follow this reading, the sense of Moses will be, that Adam had been greatly deceived, in promising life to himself and to his posterity, from a wife, whom he afterwards found by experience to be the introducer of death. And Moses (as we have seen) is accustomed, without preserving the order of the history, to subjoin afterwards things which had been prior... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:1

Now (literally, and) the serpent . Nachash , from nachash— (a) To make naked; whence atom, plural arumim , naked ( Genesis 2:25 ). (b) To crafty ( 1 Samuel 23:22 ). If applied to the serpent in the sense of πανου ͂ ργος (Aquila, Keil, Lange, Macdonald), it can only be either Unto the woman . As the weaker of the two, and more likely to be easily persuaded ( 1 Timothy 2:14 ; 1 Peter 3:7 ). Cf. Satan's assault on Job through his wife ( Job 2:9 ).... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:1

The tempter. I. WHO TEMPTS ? 1. Not the mere serpent. 2. A higher power of evil. 3. This higher power a person. 4. The leader of the fallen angels. II. WHY PERMITTED ? Easy to see why moved ; why permitted, a mystery . But we may note— 1. That the intercourse of mind with mind is a general law of nature. To exclude the devil, therefore, from gaining access to man might have involved as great a miracle as preventing one mind from influencing another. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:1-7

How long the paradisiacal state of innocence and felicity continued the historian does not declare, probably as not falling within the scope of his immediate design. Psalms 49:12 has been thought, though without sufficient reason, to hint that man's Eden life was of comparatively short duration. The present chapter relates the tragic incident which brought it to a termination. Into the question of the origin of moral evil in the universe it does not enter. The recta-physical problem of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:1-7

The moral chaos before the moral restoration. Hitherto the moral nature of man may be said to be absorbed in his religious nature. He has held intercourse with his Creator. He has ruled earth as "the paragon of animals." The introduction of a helpmeet was the commencement of society, therefore of distinctly moral relations. It is in the moral sphere that sin takes its origin, through the helpmeet, and as a violation at the same time of a direct Divine commandment, and of that social compact... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:2-3

And the woman said unto the serpent . Neither afraid of the reptile, there being not yet any enmity among the creatures; nor astonished at his speaking, perhaps as being not yet fully acquainted with the capabilities of the lower animals; nor suspicions of his designs, her innocence and inexperience not predisposing her to apprehend danger. Yet the tenor of the reptile's interrogation was fitted to excite alarm; and if, as some conjecture, she understood that Satan was the speaker, she... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:4

And the serpent said unto the woman . "As God had preached to Adam, so Satan now also preaches to Eve … The object of Satan was to draw away Eve by his word or saying from that which God had said" (Luther). Ye shall not surely die . Lo-moth temuthun . Thus the second step in his assault is to challenge the Divine veracity, in allusion to which it has been thought our Savior calls Satan a liar (cf. John 8:44 : ο ̔ ì ταν λαλη ͂ͅ το Ì ψευ ͂ δος ε ̓ κ τω ͂ ν ι ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:4

The tempter's chief weapon. Narrative of the fall is of interest not only as the record of how mankind became sinful, but as showing the working of that "lie" ( 2 Thessalonians 2:11 ) by which the tempter continually seeks to draw men away ( 2 Corinthians 11:3 ). Eve's temptation is in substance our temptation; Eve's fall illustrates our danger, and gives us matter whereby to try ourselves and mark how far we "walk by faith." The SUBSTANCE OF THE TEMPTATION was suggesting doubts—... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:5

For ( כִּי —nam , γαρ , for because; assigning the reason God doth know . Thus the serpent practically charges the Deity with (a) in affirming that to be true which he knew to be false; (b) in doing this while delivering his law; (c) in pretending to be careful of man's safety while in reality he was only jealous of his own honor. That in the day ye eat thereof . Cf. the Divine prohibition ( Genesis 2:17 ), the exact terms of which are again used—a mark of... read more
