The curses on Adam, Eve and the Serpent are well-known but misunderstood. For example, how many snakes eat dirt? Is a husband to be a dictator for his wife? The original language of Gen. 3:14-24 holds the answers.
Food for thought from the recorded discussion
Why does God ask questions? Why God go through this question and answer session with Adam and Eve?
One thing we know about the Creator is that He gets to the core and He does this by asking questions. Is God a dictator over every second of your life?
What brought Adam and Eve out from their hiding? Why did God question Adam and Eve?
Why didn’t God question the Serpent? What do you think of when you read the curse upon the Serpent? Why was the Serpent demoted? What does that mean?
What was the Serpent’s diet after the curse? What was God’s declaration of war on the Serpent?
What was the meaning of the punishments God placed upon Eve? How many punishments were placed upon Eve?
What is meant by "your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you"? How does the sun "rule" over the day and the moon over the night (Gen. 1:18)? See other usage examples of the Hebrew word translated "rule" or "have dominion": Gen. 4:7; Prov. 12:22-24; Isa. 3:1-12 (cf. Ephesians 5). How do these examples of what is meant by "rule" help us understand how a husband is supposed to "rule" over his wife?
Is the desire that the wife is supposed to have for her husband a sinful, bad thing?
How does the curse of the ground affect Adam? What kind of sorrow does Adam incur? How is his sorrow the same as Eve’s? How is it different? What and where was Adam formed?
What is Eden a picture of?
What does the Hebrew name Eve mean (Khavvah, Strong’s lexicon No. 2332)?
What was the purpose of the flaming sword?
