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:

וַֽ⁠יְשַׁלְּחֵ֛⁠הוּ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים

and=he/it_sent_out/away=him/it YHWH ʼElhīmv

Notice that in verses 22-24, “the man”, him, and he refer to mankind, that is, the man and the woman. Make sure it is clear in your translation here that both of them were sent out of the garden, not just the man. Consider again how you translated Yahweh God in Genesis 2 and 3, and see the note about this at Gen 2:4. Some languages have dual pronouns that are used for “they” and “them” in verses 22-24. Alternate translation: “Then Yahweh God banished the man and his wife” or “So then Yahweh God forced them to leave”

מִ⁠גַּן עֵ֑דֶן

from_the=garden ˊĒden

See how you translated this phrase in Gen 2:15. Alternate translation: “the garden in the land of Eden”

לַֽ⁠עֲבֹד֙ אֶת הָ֣⁠אֲדָמָ֔ה

to=work DOM the=soil

See how you translated work the ground in Gen 2:5 and “work it” in 2:15. Alternate translation: “to farm the land”

אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֻקַּ֖ח מִ⁠שָּֽׁם

which/who he/it_was_taken from=there

It does not refer to the exact ground that he was made from. See how you translated taken from in verse 19. Alternate translation: “which they had been taken from by him” or “which he had taken them from.”
