[NCE]234. [Genesis 3 continued]
14. And Jehovah God said to the snake, "Because you have done this, a curse on you, above every beast and above every wild animal of the field! You will travel on your belly and eat dirt all the days of your life.
15. And I will put hostility between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He will trample you on the head and you will wound him on the heel."
16. And to the woman he said, "I will vastly multiply your pain in conception. In pain you will bear children, and your obedience will be to your husband; and he will rule over you."
17. And to the human he said, "Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree concerning which I commanded you, saying, ‘You will not eat from it,' a curse on the ground because of you! In great pain you will eat from it all the days of your life.
18. And it will produce thorn and thistle for you, and you will eat the grass of the field.
19. You will eat bread in the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, because from it you were taken. For you are dirt, and to dirt you will return."
234. Summary
THIS passage portrays the subsequent state of religion, up to the time of the Flood. Because the church completely destroyed itself at that time, these verses also predict that the Lord would come into the world and save the human race.
