This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
God commanded the woman too, (as appears both from the permission for eating herbs and fruits given to her, together with her husband, Gen_1:28-29, and from Gen_3:1-3, and from Eve’s punishment), and that either immediately, or by Adam, whom God enjoined to inform her thereof.
Thou mayest freely eat; without offence to me, or hurt to thyself. The words in Hebrew have the form of a command, but are only a permission or indulgence, as 1Co_10:25-27.
