Exegesis-Genesis 3:1-7

Translation 1-The New International Version Rainbow Study Bible.

The serpent?s deceit leads to the fall of Adam and Eve.

3. (1)Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, ?Did God really say, ?You must not eat from any tree in the garden???(2)The woman said to the serpent, ?We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, (3)but God did say, ?You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.??

(4)?You will not surely die,? the serpent said to the woman, (5)?For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.?

(6)When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. (7)Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Translation 2-New King James Version

3. (1)Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord

God had made. And he said to the woman, ?Has God indeed said, ?You shall not eat of every tree of the garden???

(2)And the woman said to the serpent, ?We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;

(3)?but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ?You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.??

(4)Then the serpent said to the woman, ?You will not surely die.

(5)?For God knows that in the day you eat of it you eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.?

(6)So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

(7)Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

Translation 3-Revised Standard Version

3. (1)Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature the Lord God

had made. He said to the woman, ?Did God say, ?You shall not eat of any tree of the garden???

(2)And the woman said to the serpent, ?We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;

(3)but God said, ?You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you will die.??

(4)But the serpent said to the woman, ?you will not die.

(5)For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.?

(6)So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, and he ate.

(7)Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons.

Translation 4-My Version

3. (1)Now the serpent was smarter than the other creatures that God had made. He

said to the woman, ?Did God say , ?Do not eat from any tree in the garden???

(2)and the woman said, ?We may eat the fruit from the trees;

(3)but God said, ?You shall not touch or eat the fruit from the tree in the middle of

the garden, or you will die.??

(4)But the serpent said to the woman, ?You will not die.

(5)God knows that when you eat the fruit, you will become like him and know

good from evil.?

(6)So when the woman saw that the tree looked nice, had fruit to eat, and would

make one smarter by eating it, she took the fruit and ate it and gave some to her

husband and he ate too.

(7)Then they both became aware of what they had done and realized they were

naked; and they made drapes of fig leaves to cover themselves.

Commentary 1-Barnes Notes

According to Barnes, the serpent is called ?a beast of the field?; that is ?neither a domesticated animal nor one of the smaller sorts.? It is not the wisdom, but the wiliness of the serpent that is intriguing. The serpent has no arms or legs by which to escape danger. Therefore, the mode of attack that he chose, conversation, is very interesting. ?No startling proposal or disobedience is made, no advice or persuasion to partake of the fruit is employed. The suggestion or assertion of the false only is plainly offered; and the bewildered mind is left to draw its own false inferences, and pursue its own misguided course. The tempter addresses the woman as the more susceptible and unguarded of the two creatures he would betray. He ventures upon a half-questioning, half-insinuating remark: ?It is so, then, that God hath said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden.? This seems to be a feeler for some weak point, where the fidelity of the woman to her Maker might be shaken. It hints at something strange, if not unjust or unkind, on the part of God.? The serpent would insinuate, ?Why was any tree withheld?? Barnes goes on to say, ?The woman gives the natural and distinct answer of unaffected sincerity to this suggestion. The deviations from the strict letter of the law are nothing more than the free and earnest expressions of her feelings. The expression, ?Neither shall ye touch it?, merely implies that they were not to meddle with it, as a forbidden thing.? The serpent denies the life threatening consequences of partaking from the tree by affirming that ?God was aware that on the eating of
