NASB | Genesis 8:21 The LORD smelled the soothing aroma; and the LORD said to Himself, "I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 8:21 The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma [a soothing, satisfying scent] and the LORD said to Himself, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intent (strong inclination, desire) of man's heart is wicked from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done. |
Bible Question:
1. This appears to be the end of the curse of Genesis 3:17-19. Is it? 2. Some people still teach that human work was and still is cursed rather than just the soil. Is that an error? 3. When "God says to Himself," is that meant to be a sort of heavenly stage whisper for Noah to overhear like Genesis 18:17-19 where He talks to the angels in front of Abraham? |
Bible Answer: Greetings, 1) Yes, this would be the end of the Curse upon the ground that God placed in Genesis 3. However, it is also where the seasons are spelled out. God promised not to curse the ground because of Man's stupidity and rebelliousness, but Man still had to work for his food. 2) God has made it clear that Man has to work for his living. It's man's fault. 3) I would say that it is the tri-une Godhead speaking amongst themselves. Jalek |
