TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Fall

Genesis 3 describes how human moral innocence collapsed through rebellion. What God declared as “very good” (Gen 1:31) was no longer completely so. Man and woman ate the fruit that promised knowledge of good and evil, thus breaking God’s command (2:16-17) and attempting to become like God (see 3:5). In doing so, they fell from their sinless state. Alienated from God, one another, and creation, they also became subject to death.

Consequently, all humans are “fallen”—born in sin, predisposed to sin (Gen 8:21; Job 4:17-21; Pss 51:5; 103:10; 143:2; Prov 20:9), and awaiting death. When the first man and woman ate the fruit in disobedience to God, they forfeited their own innocence and that of their children, the entire human race (Rom 5:12-14; 1 Cor 15:21-22, 45-49). The expression “original sin” denotes sin’s complete, universal infiltration into individual lives and human society as a result of human rebellion. As people yield to their inherited predisposition to sin, they become responsible for their own wrongdoing (Eccl 7:20; Rom 3:23).

The first man, Adam, introduced sin, but the “second Adam,” Jesus Christ, is sin’s antidote (1 Cor 15:3; 2 Cor 5:21). When Christ died as Redeemer, he made God’s salvation from sin available to all (John 3:16; Rom 1:16).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהִ֛ים לָ⁠אִשָּׁ֖ה

and=he/it_said YHWH ʼₑlhīmv to/for_the=woman/wife

Consider what is the best way to translate this quote margin in your language. Alternate translation: “So Yahweh God asked the woman,”

מַה זֹּ֣את עָשִׂ֑ית

what? this you(fs)_have_done

God already knew the answer to this question, but he is giving the woman a chance to confess and explain what she did. God’s question probably also implies that he is displeased with what has happened. Alternate translation: “What have you done?” or “Tell me what you have done.”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠תֹּ֨אמֶר֙ הָֽ⁠אִשָּׁ֔ה

and=she/it_said the=woman

Alternate translation: “But the woman said to him,” or “The woman said” or “She replied,”

הַ⁠נָּחָ֥שׁ

the=snake

This phrase is emphasized in the Hebrew text. Alternate translation: “It was the snake that”

הִשִּׁיאַ֖⁠נִי

he/it_deceived/seduced=me

Alternate translation: “lied to me,”

וָ⁠אֹכֵֽל

and=I_ate

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “so I ate some of that fruit.” or “That is why I ate it”
