Serpent - God describe them as crafty. Chinese got a good word 狡猾. Aldo notice here the serpent spoken to the woman but not Adam. Why? Woman are easily been tricked with food?
Genesis 3:1 NIV
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
創世記 3:1 耶和華神所造的，惟有蛇比田野一切的活物更狡猾。蛇對女人說：神豈是真說：不許你們吃園中所有樹上的果子嗎？ (分享自Android快速聖經)
When God put them in the garden He already warn them not to eat the forbidden fruit.
Genesis 2:17 NIV
but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
Genesis 3:6 NIV
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
4 things attract woman :-
1, good for food
2, pleasing eyes
3, gaining wisdom
4, share with husband
Adam trusted the wife just like that - he ate it - without questioning?
Adam blame God put the woman there and cause him to be sinned.
Genesis 3:12 NIV
The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
Woman blame the serpent.
Genesis 3:13 NIV
Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
God punish or cursed the serpent together with the woman.
Genesis 3:15 NIV
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
Enmity - hostility.
創世記 3:15 我又要叫你和女人彼此為仇，你的後裔和女人的後裔，也彼此為仇，女人的後裔要傷你的頭，你要傷他的腳跟。 (分享自Android快速聖經)
