===Translation of [[Tanakh:Genesis_3:8|Genesis 3:8]]===
===Translation of [[Tanakh:Genesis_3:12|Genesis 3:12]]===
Adam said: The wife which you gave was given me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate.
===Translation of [[Tanakh:Genesis_3:13|Genesis 3:13]]===
God Yahweh said to the woman: What have you done? She said: The serpent deceived me and I've eaten.
 
===Translation of [[Tanakh:Genesis_3:14|Genesis 3:14]]===
 
God Yahweh said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you are cursed from all beasts and all livings of the field. On your belly you will walk and will eat dust all days of your life.
 
"you are cursed from all beasts and all livings of the field" = "you are more cursed than any beasts and all livings of the field".
 
===Translation of [[Tanakh:Genesis_3:15|Genesis 3:15]]===
 
I will make enmity between you and the woman, and between your descendant and her descendant. He will bruise head, and you will bruise our feet.
 
"you will bruise our feet" = "you will bruise back" (as a consequence).
==Comments==
From [[Tanakh:Genesis_3:13|Gen. 3:13]] it is clear that Eve has understood that she did wrong (the serpent has deceived her). Probably she has understood that her state has become worse, see also [[Theology:Fall_of_the_man]].
 
It is a quite natural punishment for the serpent-shaped alien: His punishment is that he must go outside of the garden and never return to his own planet suffering co-existence with animals of the Earth ("to be cursed from every animal").
 
The word "descendant" is in singular form. So (see Galatians 3:16), it refers to Jesus Christ.
