PASTOR TIM's NOTES: 

Genesis 3:16-24
“Fall Out From the Fall”
part 2
1. Eve would have two critical PRIORITIES of her life affected.
Vs. 16
1a. One of the PRIORITIES would be in having children.
Mothering itself, with its attendant joys, became a source of painful labor.
1b. One of the PRIOITIES would be a joyous marriage relationship.
Marriage was also struck with a corresponding pain.
 Gen 4:7
The woman would now desire to control her husband, but she would fail because God had
ordained that man should lead.
Is this what the New Testament teaches as well?
Eph 5:22-26, Mark 10:45
What does submission mean?
It does not mean inequality.
It does not mean that all women are to submit to all men.
Gal 3:27-28
Therefore this idea of submission only pertains to marriage.
 1 Cor 11:3, John 5:18
So the word submission has to do with the role of the wife.
 Eph 5:31-33
The wife is not instructed to love her husband; the assumption is that she will.
The priority is respect.
2. Adam would have one essential PURPOSE in his life affected.
Vs. 17-19
2a. Adam is reminded of the failed PURPOSE of his leadership.
Adam had failed to be the leader in his home and had allowed Eve to be deceived.
2b. Adam would find a difficult dynamic in the essential PURPOSE of providing for his
family.
The punishment would involve his ability to provide for his family.
Note that work itself was not cursed.
Work, in fact, had been a gift from God (cf. 2:15).
Writing from the perspective of life apart from God, the writer of Ecclesiastes
reflects: Eccl 2:10-11
3. Adam and Eve would find hope in God’s PROMISE and PROVISION.
Vs. 20-21
3a. Adam would find hope in God’s PROMISE.
There is a prophetic hope in the woman’s name.
“Eve” means “life”4 or “life-giver.”
Adam was able to do this because he had a very precise awareness of the overall
significance of God’s words to his wife.6
The tense Adam used to declare his faith is the prophetic perfect, indicating that
her becoming the mother of all the living “is as good as done.”7
3b. Adam and Eve would find hope in God’s PROVISION.
There is a price that must be paid in order to cover sin.
Vs. 21 Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed
them.
They had attempted to cover themselves, but this covering was from God—a tunic
that reached to their knees or ankles.9
In a greater way God has provided clothing for us as well.
Galatians 3:27, Rev 19:8
4. Adam and Eve would find grace in being PREVENTED from entering the garden.
Vs. 22-24
4a. Adam and Eve did not experience the PROMISE offered by Satan.
What Satan had promised Eve had become partially true.
Like God they now knew good and evil.
But the couple’s likeness to God was not glorious, as they had supposed.
4b. It was God’s grace that PREVENTED Adam and Eve from entering the garden.
Cherubim were stationed at the east side of the garden.
A flaming sword, representing the justice and holiness of God was at work.
Jeremiah 47:6, Ezekiel 21
We have seen that the garden had been the Holy of Holies of God’s presence, the original
divine space. God would not allow them to remain among the living dead.
Access to the presence of God was lost in the garden and then was only possible
for the priest who entered the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle and the temple.
But now it is possible through the person of Jesus Christ—who is at once priest,
sacrifice, and temple.

Gordon J. Wenham, Genesis 1–15, Vol. Word Biblical Commentary 1 (Waco, TX: Word, 1987), p. 84, writes:
More likely חוה is a by-form of חיה and means “life” (BDB [Brown, Driver & Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon], 295b); at least this
is how LXX translates “Eve,” Zoe—“life,” and it fits in with the explanation offered in the text itself.
