“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe” (3:16 NIV)
After Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, God gave them separate penalties.
Eve, whose name means “mother of all the living” (Genesis 3:20 NIV), will experience pain during the one or two times when she gives birth.
==========
Not fair!
Eve got duped by the serpent!
Eve took the first bite from the forbidden fruit!
Eve gave the fruit to Adam! (Genesis 3:1-6)
Why should Adam be condemned to work until the day he dies (click here to read “Penalty for Men: Work”) while Eve only gets a one- or two-day penalty?
Perhaps the answer lies in a typographical error . . .
Maybe the verse should read:
“I will make your pains in childRearing very severe” (3:16 NIV)
Kids really can drive their mothers crazy. Just look . . .
