Genesis 3:19

19. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread Not only shall the sweat oppress thee in thy toil, but even when thou sittest to eat bread, it shall appear on thy face . “This sentence includes all the sorrows, pains, and sweating toils to which men are subject in gaining a livelihood . ” Jacobus . “No man eats bread but by the sweat of some man’s face . ” Conant . Dust thou art, (Genesis 2:7) and unto dust shalt thou return Excluded from the garden and the tree of life, man must, sooner or later, suffer bodily dissolution. He may live nine hundred and thirty years, (Genesis 5:5,) but the death will surely come . The perfection and vigour of the first man may reasonably be believed to have been the cause of patriarchal longevity. The vigour of the race gradually deteriorated until human life rarely continued beyond a hundred years. See note introductory to chapter 5.
