The temptation and Fall of Man

3:1 Now the Nachash (serpent, snake) was more subtil than any beast of the field which YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath Elohim (אלהים) said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

3:2 And the woman said unto the Nachash (serpent, snake), We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, Elohim (אלהים) hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

3:4 And the Nachash (serpent, snake) said unto the woman:

Ye shall not surely die:

3:5 For Elohim (אלהים) doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they [were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Hashem's use of Questions: man 3 - woman 1

3:8 And they heard the voice of YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) amongst the trees of the garden.

3:9

And YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) called unto Adam, and said unto him:

Where [art] thou?

3:10 And he said:

I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I [was] naked; and I hid myself.

3:11 And HE said:

Who told thee that thou [wast] naked?

Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

3:12 And the man said:

The woman whom thou gavest [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

3:13

And YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) said unto the woman:

What [is] this [that] thou hast done?

And the woman said:

The Nachash (serpent, snake) beguiled me, and I did eat.

3:14

And YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) said unto the Nachash (serpent, snake):

Because thou hast done this, thou [art] cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

3:15

Veeivah ashit benkha uvein haIshah uvein zarakha uvein zarah Hu yeshufkha rosh veatah teshufenu akev:

And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel."

3:16 Unto the woman HE said:

I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

3:17 And unto Adam HE said:

Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is] the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;

3:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art], and unto dust shalt thou return.

3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Havah (חוּה); because she was the mother of all living.

3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) make coats of skins, and clothed them.

3:22 (A:v, S:iv)

And YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) said:

Hinei, the man is become as one of us, to know Tov and ra'ah: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

3:23 Therefore YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Keruvim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

3:21-24: It was an act of mercy that Hashem exiled Adam and Chava from the garden of Eden. Had they remained in the garden, they would have eaten of the fruit of the Tree of Life. Notice that they were not created immortal, yet immortality hung within their grasp. All they needed to do was to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Life, they would have been consigned to an immortal existence in rebellion against Hashem. Like the Adversary, they would have remained unredeemed and unredeemable for all of eternity. An eternal life of endless death. As a mercy, Hashem exiled them.

Her seed - Women does not have seed, only the male produce seed, thus this refer to virgin birth, Yeshua does not have human father.

Adam and Eve are Tempted

Luke 3:23-28; Romans 5:12 - 21; Colossians 1:14-17; 1 Timothy 2:11-15

Why do Hashem asked question?

High hand

The problem with Man Ego or Egoism - high hand

High-hand-defiance.gif

The basic problem is the sinful nature of man is that Man by nature has a soul that desire to worship (ibadat) something but on the other hand does not want Elohim to reign over him. He does not appreciate or want the high standards of spirituality and morality which Elohim requires of him. Many even denies the existance of YHWH Elohim, he has become the enemies of YHWH, man hates YHWH because he lives in darkness while YHWH Elohim is light, he does not know YHWH Elohim, he does not understand things of Divine Nature. Only when a person understands and accepts the gospel message does he, inspired by the Ruach HaKodesh, begin to have a thirst and hunger for HaShem's Word.

Man's mortal body is subject to suffering, disease; sickness of this world, worries, boredom, loneliness, aimlessness, anxiety, emptiness, insecurity. He is physical alive and Spiritually dead. The physical body will die someday and biodegraded. The soul will stay in Hades (place of suffering) until the final Judgement "the Great White Throne" Do you want to remain in such a state?
