Genesis 3:1-4
(Tyndale Bible)
But the serpent was sotyller than all the beastes of the felde which ye LORde God had made and sayd vnto the woman. Ah syr that God hath sayd ye shall not eate of all maner trees in the garden.
2 And the woman sayd vnto the serpent of the frute of the trees in the garden we may eate
3 but of the frute of the tree yt is in the myddes of the garden (sayd God) se that ye eate not and se that ye touch it not: lest ye dye.
4 Then sayd the serpent vnto the woman: tush ye shall not dye:

translation:

But the serpent was stealthier (craftier) than all the beasts of the field which ye Lord God had made and said unto the woman. Ah sir that God hath said ye shall not eat of all manner trees in the garden. And the woman said unto the serpent of the fruit of the trees in the garden we may eat but of the fruit of the tree yet is in the midst of the garden (said God) see that ye eat not and se that ye touch it not: lest ye dye. Then said the serpent unto the woman: tush ye shall not dye:

summary:

The crafty serpent questions God’s word and motives, persuading Eve to focus on what is forbidden and to distrust God’s goodness.

The Serpent and Ancient Imagery
Serpents symbolized cunning and chaos in Near-Eastern cultures. Scripture later identifies the serpent with Satan (Revelation 12:9). Paul warns believers in Corinth, “the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness” (2 Corinthians 11:3).

Revelation 12: 9
(1599 Geneva Bible)
And the great dragon that old serpent, called the devil and Satan,
was cast out, which deceiveth all the world:
he was even cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

2 Corinthians 11: 3
(1599 Geneva Bible)
 But I fear lest as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupt from the simplicity that is in Christ:

Steps of Temptation

1. Doubting God’s word: “Did God really say…?” (v.1).
2. Distorting God’s command: Eve adds “or touch it” (v.3).
3. Denying God’s warning: “You will not surely die” (v.4).

Teaching Points:
The Deception of the Serpent
Genesis 3:1 introduces the serpent as more cunning than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. The serpent’s question, Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?), sows doubt and distorts God’s command.

Practical Applications

Guard Against Deception
Just as the serpent deceived Eve, we must be vigilant against the lies and distortions of truth in our own lives.

Recognize the Consequences of Sin
Understanding the gravity of Adam and Eve’s disobedience helps us appreciate the seriousness of sin and its impact on our relationship with God.

Seek Redemption Through Christ
Genesis 3:15 points to Jesus as the ultimate solution to sin. Embrace the hope and redemption offered through His sacrifice.

Cultivate Obedience
Strive to obey God’s commands, recognizing that His instructions are for our good and protection.

Genesis Chapter 3 marks a pivotal moment in humanity’s divine narrative—the disobedience of Adam and Eve leading to the original sin, and their subsequent expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The crafty serpent’s successful deception ushers in a sequence of events that fundamentally alters the state of the created world and humanity’s place within it.

hope you have a great day!
