Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 3:1-5

Now the serpent was more subtil 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? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 3:1

1. The serpent is here represented as a beast of the field which the Lord God had made, and, therefore, must have been good, as all the rest of the creation . Genesis 1:25. Hence we should not understand the word ערום , subtile, in a bad sense, implying malignant craftiness, as some expositors have done.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 3:1-24

The Generations of the Heavens and the Land, Genesis 2:4 to Genesis 4:26. In chapters 1, and Genesis 2:1-3, the sacred writer gives us his account of the creation of the heavens and the land; he now proceeds to give us their generations, תולרות . His historical standpoint is the day from which these generations start; the day when man was formed of the dust of the ground, and of the breath of life from the heavens. So the first man is conceived of as the product of the heavens and the land... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 3:3

3. Neither shall ye touch it This is the woman’s own addition to the commandment as given in Genesis 2:17, and is thought by many to imply that in her own mind the commandment was too severe . The tempter started a thought which she develops, as if soliloquizing: “Yes, it is even so. We may eat of all other fruit, but this particular tree we must not even touch, lest we die!” And thus the way is prepared for bolder words from the deceiver. read more
