Commentary on Genesis John Calvin (continued)
Chapter 3
Genesis 3:1-24
1. Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
1. Porro serpens erat callidior omni bestia agri, quam fecerat Jehova Deus: et dixit ad mulierem, Etiamne dixit Deus, Non comedetis ex omni arbore horti?
2. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
2. Et dixit mulier ad serpentem, De fructu arborum horti vescimur.
3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God
3. At de fructu arboris quae est in medio horti, dixit Deus, Non comedetis ex ea, neque contingetis eam, ne forte moriamini. hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
4. Tunc dixit serpens ad mulierem, Non moriendo moriemini.
