NASB | Genesis 3:17 Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 3:17 Then to Adam the LORD God said, "Because you have listened [attentively] to the voice of your wife, and have eaten [fruit] from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it'; The ground is [now] under a curse because of you; In sorrow and toil you shall eat [the fruit] of it All the days of your life. |
Bible Question: HELLO. I WAS WRONG ABOUT VERSE 22-24. ACTUALLY IT'S 1RST TIMOTHY 2: 14. 15. THIS SOUNDS LIKE IT EXCLUDES THEM BOTH. HOW COULD EVE HAVE KNOWN WHAT GOD COMMANDED ADAM TO DO WHEN SHE WASN'T CREATED YET? WHERE WAS ADAM ALL THE TIME EVE WAS BEING DECEIVED? AND WHAT WOULD OF HAPPEN IF NEITHER OF THEM HAD SINNED? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Cubby, Genesis 3:2-3 clearly reveals that the woman, Eve, knew about God's command to them both to avoid the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. She told the serpent what God had commanded to them both, and the serpent deceived them (Gen. 3:13). According to 1 Tim. 2:14-15, Eve was deceived first, and then Adam was deceived through Eve. 1 Tim. 2:14-15 is accurate in that the woman was deceived first, and then Adam was deceived through his wife, since he ate the fruit from the tree in which God had commanded them to avoid. Genesis 3:6 states that "and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate." This verse does not clearly state that Adam was standing there right next to her, and it could simply mean that 'she gave some to her husband who was there with her in the Garden of Eden.' But we do know that Eve gave to Adam some of the forbidden fruit (3:6), and he ate of it. By eating of the forbidden fruit (either knowing it or not), Adam sinned against God, who explicitly told them not to eat from that specific tree. In conclusion, both had sinned against God. 1 Tim. 2:14-15 simply means that Adam himself was not first deceived by the serpent, even though he did eat of the fruit that his wife gave him. Blessings to you, Makarios |
