John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 3:18

Verse 18 18.Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth. He more largely treats of what he has already alluded to, namely, the participation of the fruits of the earth with labor and trouble. And he assigns as the reason, that the earth will not be the same as it was before, producing perfect fruits; for he declares that the earth would degenerate from its fertility, and bring forth briers and noxious plants. Therefore we may know, that whatsoever unwholesome things may be produced, are not... read more

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

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 3:7

And the eyes of them both were opened . The fatal deed committed, the promised results ensued, but not the anticipated blessings. Traditions of the Fall. I. ORIENTAL . 1. Babylonian . "There is nothing in the Chaldean fragments indicating a belief in the garden of Eden or the tree of knowledge; there is only an obscure allusion to a thirst for knowledge having been a cause of man's fall" … The details of the temptation are lost in the cuneiform text, which "opens where the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:8

The working of the sin-stricken conscience. I. GOD THE JUDGE REVEALING HIMSELF . The voice of the Lord God represents to men the knowledge of themselves, which, like light , would be intolerable to the shamefaced. II. MAN HIDING FROM THE JUDGE BECAUSE UNABLE TO MEET HIM . While the darkness of the thick foliage was regarded as a covering, hiding nakedness, it is yet from the presence of the Lord God that the guilty seek refuge. III. MAN 'S SELF... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:8-19

The first judgment scene. I. THE FLIGHT Or THE CRIMINALS . 1. It is the instinct of sinful men to flee from God . "Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God" ( Genesis 3:8 ). So "Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord" ( Jonah 1:3 ). 2. It is God ' s habit to pursue transgressors . As he pursued Adam and Eve in the garden by his voice (verse 9), and Jonah on the deep by a wind ( Jonah 1:4 ), and David by his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:9

The searching question. We can picture the dread of this question. Have you considered its love—that it is really the first word of the gospel? Already the Shepherd goes forth to seek the lost sheep. The Bible shows us— 1. The original state of man; what God intended his lot to be. 2. The entry of sin, and fall from happiness. 3. The announcement and carrying out God's plan of restoration. THE GOSPEL BEGINS not with the promise of a Savior, but WITH SHOWING MAN HIS ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:9-10

And the Lord God called unto Adam . Adam's absence was a clear proof that something was wrong. Hitherto he had always welcomed the Divine approach. And said unto him, Where art thou? Not as if ignorant of Adam's hiding-place, but to bring him to confession (cf. Genesis 4:9 ). And I was afraid, because I was naked . Attributing his fear to the wrong cause—the voice of God or his insufficient clothing; a sign of special obduracy (Calvin), which, however, admits of a psychological... read more
