Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 3:21

The Lord God, either by his own word, or by the ministry of angels, made coats of skins, of beasts slain either for sacrifice to God, or for the use of man, their lord and owner; and clothed them, partly to defend them from excessive heats and colds, or other injuries of the air, to which they were now exposed; partly to mind them of their sin, which made their nakedness, which before was innocent and honourable, now to be an occasion of sin and shame, and therefore to need covering; and partly... 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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 3:21

Genesis 3:21 An ancient interpreter of Scripture has not scrupled to declare that there are in the Book of Revelation as many mysteries as there are words. True as the words are as applied to that wonderful book, they are truer still in regard of the first three chapters of Genesis, above all in regard of this third chapter; for this assuredly is the most important chapter in the Bible. Among all its mysteries I must limit myself to the one contained in the words of the text. These words have a... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Genesis 3:21-24

DISCOURSE: 8THE WAY OF SALVATION ILLUSTRATED TO OUR FIRST PARENTSGenesis 3:21-24. Unto Adam also, and to his wife, did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them. And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he... 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

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 3:21

Gen 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. Ver. 21. Coats of skins and clothed them. ] God put them in leather, when yet there was better means of clothing, to humble them doubtless, and draw them to repentance. Whether God created these skins anew, or took them off the backs of sheep and goats killed for sacrifice, to remind man of his mortality and mortification, it much matters not. Our first parents, who, even after the fall were the... read more
