Genesis 3

The Serpent

And the serpent //nachash//

//Gadreel//

^And Jehovah God saith

unto the serpent,

`Because thou hast done this,

cursed //curse// [art] thou

above all the cattle,

and above every beast of the field:

on thy belly

dost thou go,

and dust thou dost eat,

all days of thy life;

^and enmity I put

between thee and the woman,

and between thy seed and her seed;

he doth bruise thee //serpent// -- the head,

and thou dost bruise him -- the heel.'

Observation: He didn’t ask the serpent a question like he did Adam and Eve?
The serpent tried to usurp the rulership of the humans. The serpant is cursesd.
Both the woman and the snake have a seed - the woman’s seed will crush the snake, not the snakes seed
The snake will launch an attack against her seed and he (her seed) will have victory.
The serpant is cursed and become humanities enemy through the woman.
- Revelation 12
- Revelation 20

The Woman

And the woman saith

unto the serpent,

`Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,

and of the fruit of the tree

which [is] in the midst of the garden

God hath said,

Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.'

^And the woman seeth

that the tree [is] good for food,

and that it [is] pleasant to the eyes,

and the tree is desirable to make [one] wise,

and she taketh

of its fruit

and eateth,

and giveth also

to her husband

with her,

And they hear

the sound of

Jehovah God

walking up and down

in the garden

at the breeze of the day //ruakh ha-yom wind of the day//,

and the man and his wife hide themselves

from the face of

Jehovah God

in the midst of the trees

of the garden.

And Jehovah God saith

to the woman //Eve//,

`What [is] this thou hast done?'

and the woman saith,

The serpent hath

caused me

to forget

-- and I do eat.'

^And Jehovah God saith

unto the serpent,

^and enmity I put

between thee and the woman,

and between thy seed and her seed;

he doth bruise thee //serpent// -- the head,

and thou dost bruise him -- the heel.'

He //God// said,

^Unto the woman

`Multiplying I multiply

thy sorrow

in sorrow dost thou bear children

and thy conception, ,

toward thy husband [is]

thy desire,

and he doth rule over thee.'

Some scholars believe conception/childbirth: Does not mean childbirth. It means Herayon conception, pregnancy. And the word pain is the emotional toll. Circumstances of how babies are conceived will be fraught with painful, complicated relationships that help that cause emotional pain.
Humans were called to rule together, but now there is a lack of safety and unity. The man will now treat the woman like an animal and rule over her instead of ruling with her. Rule ( יִמְשָׁל־בָּךְ (yimshol-bakh). In the ancient Israelite context, יִמְשָׁל־בָּךְ would have been understood within the patriarchal social structure of the time, where male authority in family and society was normative.
Both the woman and the snake have a seed - the woman’s seed will crush the snake, not the snakes seed
The snake will launch an attack against her seed and he (her seed) will have victory.
The serpent and the man both get a concequence which includes eating - serpent eat dust; man eat in sorrow, herb, and bread from the ground.

And the man

calleth his wife's name Eve:

for she hath been mother of all living.

^And Jehovah God doth make

to the man and to his wife

coats of skin,

and doth clothe them.

The Man

and he doth eat;

and the eyes of them //Adam and Eve//

both are opened,

and they know

that they [are] naked,

and they sew fig-leaves,

and make to themselves girdles.

And they hear

the sound of

Jehovah God

walking up and down

in the garden

at the breeze of the day //ruakh ha-yom wind of the day//,

and the man and his wife hide themselves

from the face of

Jehovah God

in the midst of the trees

of the garden.

the sound of

Jehovah God

walking up and down

in the garden

at the breeze of the day //ruakh ha-yom wind of the day//,

and the man and his wife hide themselves

from the face of

Jehovah God

in the midst of the trees

of the garden.

Whatever this appearance of the sound of Yahweh coming and blowing through the garden, it clearly makes them afraid because they hide. Elohim storms in. The Day of the Lord is always depicted as the coming of a great storm. Zephaniah 1

And Jehovah God calleth

unto the man,

and he //Adam// saith,

`Thy //God// sound I //Adam// have heard

in the garden,

and I am afraid,

for I am naked,

and I hide myself.'

And He //God// saith,

`Who hath declared

to thee //Adam//

and the man saith //to God//,

`The woman

whom Thou didst place with me

-- she hath given to me

of the tree

-- and I do eat.'

He //God// said,

^And to the man

`Because thou hast hearkened

to the voice

of thy wife,

and dost eat of the tree

concerning which I have charged thee, saying,

Thou dost not eat of it,

cursed [is] the ground

on thine //Adam// account;

thou dost eat of it

in sorrow

all days of thy life,

and thorn and bramble

it //the ground// doth bring forth to thee,

and thou hast eaten the herb of the field;

by the sweat of thy face

thou dost eat bread

till thy return unto the ground,

for out of it hast thou been taken,

for dust thou [art],

and unto dust thou turnest back.'

Hosea 6:7: Mentions Adam’s transgression, directly referencing the covenant broken

And the man

calleth his wife's name Eve:

for she hath been mother of all living.

^And Jehovah God doth make

to the man and to his wife

coats of skin,

and doth clothe them.

Jehovah God sendeth

him //Adam// forth

from the garden of Eden

to serve the ground

from which he hath been taken;

^yea, he casteth out the man,

and causeth to dwell

at the east

of the garden of Eden

He was created to serve the ground Genesis 2:15

The Earth

He //God// said,

cursed [is] the ground

on thine //Adam// account;

and thorn and bramble

it //the ground// doth bring forth to thee,

and thou hast eaten the herb of the field;

by the sweat of thy face

thou dost eat bread

till thy return unto the ground,

for out of it hast thou been taken,

for dust thou [art],

and unto dust thou turnest back.'

And Jehovah God saith,

to ???us???

`Lo, the man

was as one of Us,

as to the knowledge of good and evil;

and now, lest he send forth his hand,

and have taken also of the tree of life,

and eaten,

and lived to the age,' -- tree of knowledge of good and evil

Heiser, Michael S.. The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible. Lexham Press. Kindle Edition.

Genesis 3:5 the serpent (Hebrew: nachash) says to Eve: “For God (elohim) knows that on the day you both eat from it, then your eyes will be opened and you both shall be like gods (elohim), knowing good and evil.”

A CHRISTIAN WALK WITH THE TABERNACLE PRIESTS

Adam and Eve decide they want to decide they no longer want to depend on God to decide what is right and wrong, they want to decide for themselves. So they eat of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
