Women of the Bible Eve Part 2

Women of the Bible

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.

Eve was the first woman. Independent and curious, she disobeyed Yahweh's commands. She ate the forbidden fruit, (more on this later) setting forth major change in the Garden of Eden - and human history.

Although man and woman have different roles to play within marriage, as far as our standing with Yahweh is concerned, we are equal. We are both created in the image of Yahweh. We were both called to subdue the earth. 

In our last study we began with the story on Eve. We discovered that Eve WAS NOT taken from one of Adam’s ribs, but from the image of his side as the Hebrew word for our English word “rib” is “tsay-law'”. We finish up our study in Genesis 3 where we were reading about the Serpent deceiving the woman, Eve. I will begin in Chapter 3 verse 3.

So far in this Chapter 3 we seen the serpent (nachash – shining one) talking with Eve. What we have seen here is that Satan’s method of operation. Twisting Yahweh’s Words! Just as he tried to do in Matthew 4. In our last study I have read to you how Satan comes and goes between heaven and earth as documented in Job Chapters 1 and 2. We also learned how beautiful Satan was in Ezekiel Chapter 28 until sin was found within him. Paul informs us that in 2 Corin. 11:14 Satan can transform into an angel of light.

3   tree = from Strongs 6086, “ates” from 6095; now 6086 is tree, from it’s firmness, 6095 is “as-tsaw” a prime root, properly to fasten (to make firm) that is, to close (the eyes). The spine [as giving] firmness to the body] backbone.

Eat = “aw-kal” a prime root; to eat [literally or figurally] at all, burn up, consume, devour, dine, eat, food, meat.

Neither…it = notice, these words are added by the women, check 2:16, 17. There was no word concerning “touching ’’ in the original prohibition. This exaggeration on the part of the woman, says the Midrash, was the cause of her fall.

Touch = “naw-ga”, lay the hand upon for any purpose, to lie with a woman]

Compare 2 Corin. 11:3; beguiled = “ex-ap-at-ah-o” wholly seduce

Lest ye die = misquoted from 2:16, 17, by not repeating the emphatic figure “polyptoton”, thus changing the emphasizes preserved in the word “surely”! Other words, Eve modified the phrase to take away the importance from Yahweh 

5     Note, the reason Satan tells Eve that they would be like Eliohim, is Satan himself is trying to be like Elohim. Ezek. 28:13

Ye shall be as eliohims = Satan’s 2nd lie!

6   The woman saw = though the tempter did not tell the woman to eat the fruit, he had woven the spell.

good = This is the lust of the flesh.

Pleasant = ‘chamad’ To desire, to covet, to take pleasure in, to delight in, to be desirable, to delight greatly, to desire greatly, desirableness, preciousness. lust of the eyes [read 1 John 2:16] of a beautiful color, and very inviting to the taste.

Desired = (tah-av-aw'); to yearn for, to lust after (used of bodily appetites) a longing; by implication, a delight (subjectively, satisfaction, objectively, a charm): a desire, a wish, longings of one's heart; lust, an appetite, covetousness (in a bad sense)

Took = (law-kakh'); to take (in the widest variety of applications): to take, to lay hold of, to receive, to marry, to take a wife, to take to or for a person, to get, to take possession of, to select, to choose, to take in marriage, to receive, to accept
