Genesis 3:6-15 ASV

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:9-24

The word of God in the moral chaos. These verses bring before us very distinctly the elements of man's sinful state, and of the redemptive dispensation of God which came out of it by the action of his brooding Spirit of life upon the chaos. I. THE WORD OF GOD ADDRESSED TO THE PERSONAL CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW WORLD . "The Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? " Before that direct intercourse between the Spirit of God and... read more

And he said . "To reprove the sottishness of Adam" (Calvin); "to awaken in him a sense of sin" (Keil). Who told thee that thou wast naked? Delitzsch finds in מִי an indication that a personal power was the prime cause of man's disobedience; but, as Lange rightly observes, it is the occasion not of sin, but of the consciousness of nakedness that is here inquired after. Hast thou eaten of the tree (at once pointing Adam to the true cause of his nakedness, and intimating the Divine... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:13

And the Lord said unto the woman —without noticing the excuses, but simply accepting the admission, and passing on, "following up the transgression, even to the root—not the psychological merely, but the historical (Lange): What is this that thou hast done ? Or, " Why hast thou done this?" ( LXX ; Vulgate, Luther, De Wette). "But the Hebrew phrase has more vehemence; it is the language of one who wonders as at something prodigious, and ought rather to be rendered, ' How hast thou done... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:14

Confession having thus been made by both delinquents, and the arch-contriver of the whole mischief discovered, the Divine Judge proceeds to deliver sentence. And the Lord God said unto the serpent . Which he does not interrogate as he did the man and woman, "because 1. The serpent only (Kalisch). 2. The devil only (Macdonald). 3. Partly on the serpent and partly on Satan (Calvin). 4. Wholly upon both (Murphy, Bush, Candlish). The difficulties attending these different... read more

The doom of Satan and the hope of man. I. THE DOOM OF DEGRADATION ( Genesis 3:14 ). II. THE DOOM OF HOSTILITY ( Genesis 3:15 ). Three stages:— 1. The enmity. 2. The conflict. 3. The victory. Lessons : — 1. See the wondrous mercy of God in proclaiming from the first day of sin, and putting into the forefront, a purpose of salvation. 2. Have we recognized it to the overcoming of the devil?— W . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 3:15

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman . Referring— 1. To the fixed and inveterate antipathy between the serpent and the human race (Bush, Lange); to that alone (Knobel). 2. To the antagonism henceforth to be established between the tempter and mankind (Murphy); to that alone (Calvin, Bonar, Wordsworth, Macdonald). And between thy seed and her seed . Here the curse manifestly outgrows the literal serpent, and refers almost exclusively to the invisible tempter. The... read more

- Section III - The Fall- The Fall1. נחשׁ nachash “serpent; related: hiss,” Gesenius; “sting,” Mey. ערוּם 'ārûm “subtle, crafty, using craft for defence.”7. תפר tāpar “sew, stitch, tack together.” חגורה chăgôrâh “girdle, not necessarily apron.”This chapter continues the piece commenced at Genesis 2:4. The same combination of divine names is found here, except in the dialogue between the serpent and the woman, where God (אלהים 'ĕlohı̂ym) alone is used. It is natural for the tempter to use... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 3:6

Genesis 3:6. When the woman saw, (or perceived) But how? Certainly by believing Satan and disbelieving God. Here we see what her parley with the tempter ended in; Satan, at length, gains his point; God permitting it for wise and holy ends. And he gains it: 1st, By injecting unbelief respecting the divine declaration. 2d, By the lust of the flesh: she saw that the tree was good for food, agreeable to the taste, and nutritive. 3d, By the lust of the eye, that it was pleasant to the... read more
