This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





How heinous a crime hast thou committed! What a world of mischief hast thou by this one act brought upon thyself and all thy posterity? Or, why hast thou done this? What causes or motives couldst thou have for so wicked an action? What need hadst thou of meddling with this forbidden fruit, when I had given thee so large and liberal an allowance?



And the woman said, The serpent, a creature which thou hast made, and that assisted by a higher power, by an evil angel, for such I now perceive by sad experience there are,



beguiled me, a weak and foolish woman, whose seduction calls for thy pity, not thine anger;



and I did eat, being surprised and over-persuaded against my own judgment and resolution.
