Genesis: The Garden of Eden (Lesson 2)
July 24th 2011 18:28
Okay, so we learned in the last lesson of the “trees” in Eden and who they really were. We also saw that God had warned Adam not to partake of the fruit of Satan.
*Genesis 3:6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes (lust of the eyes and the flesh), and a tree desirable (described in Ezekiel 31) to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
*Genesis 3:7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
Now, if their crime was literally eating an apple shouldn't they have covered their mouths? Why cover their private parts? Why be ashamed of that region of their body?
The term naked here is different from Genesis 2:25. So, let's learn the diverse meaning in Hebrew from the manuscripts.
The original words and meanings:
Genesis 2:25= arom: to be (or being) nude, completely naked
Genesis 3:7= eyrom: to become (to make) naked (some scholars believe this to mean that they lost some of God's glorious likeness, pureness or virginity)
*Genesis 3:13- And the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent beguiled me, and I eat.”
The term beguiled, the original word in the Hebrew manuscript is nasha which means “seduce”.
