In this study we will take a look at the women within the Bible. We will look at each one of them and see how their story influences our lives today.
In this first study we will start with Eve
I will begin in Chapter 3 verse 5.
We finished up in our study with the serpent assuring Eve that she will not die! This would be Satan's second utterance! A Contradiction of Yahweh's Word in chapter 2:17. Take note the fact that Satan emphasizes his statement with the word ‘surely’. Satan tries to be like Yahweh.
5 opened = were opened [to wickedness] the knowledge attained is neither of happiness, wisdom or power, but of consciousness of sin and its conflict with the will of Yahweh. Next come shame, fear and the attempt to hide.
7 Knew = they knew before, but their knowledge now received a new meaning. Adam becomes “naked” by losing something of Yahweh’s glorious likeness. Could Romans 8:3 refer to this? “For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, Yahweh sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”
Naked = “ay-ram” from 6191, nudity; 6191 = “aw-ram” to be [or make] bare, but used only in a derivate sense [through the idea of perhaps of smoothness] to be cunning [usually in a bad sense]
8 voice = “kole, kole” meaning to call aloud; a voice or sound: crackling of footsteps
In the Hebrew text we see the Hebrew word ‘eth’. Which is the letters Alph and Tav.
Aleph = The original pictograph for this letter is a picture of an ox head representing strength and power from the work performed by the animal. This pictograph also represents a chief or other leader. When two oxen are yoked together for pulling a wagon or plow, one is the older and more experienced one who leads the other.
Tav = The Ancient picture is a type of "mark", probably of two sticks crossed to mark a place similar to the Egyptian hieroglyph of, a picture of two crossed sticks. This letter has the meanings of mark, sign or signature.
By placing this Hebrew word ‘eth’ within this verse, shows us that it is no doubt Yahweh who is calling them.
Cool of the day is literally “the breeze of the day.”
cool = “ruach” spirit. Since Yahweh is a Spirit, could it be possible that they may have heard the movement of His Spirit going through the garden?
9 where art thou = the first question in the Old Testament come from Yahweh to the sinner, whereas in the New Testament, the first question of the seeking sinner, “Where is He?” Matthew 2:2
10 I was afraid, because I was naked = See the immediate consequences of sin. 1) Shame, because of the ingratitude marked in the rebellion, and because that in aiming to be like Yahweh they were now sunk into a state of the greatest wretchedness. 2) Fear, because they saw they had been deceived by Satan, and were exposed to that death and punishment from which he had promised them an exemption.
11 Hast thou eaten? = An opportunity is given Adam for full confessions and expression of repentance. A sin unconfessed and unrepented is a sin constantly committed.
12 the man = eth-ha-adaham
the woman = showing the true nature of a sinful man, always passing the buck
thou gavest = Boy, Adam is really showing his colors or nakedness. Now he is passing the buck to the one that created him!
