(a)3:5 The serpent’s argument is not a good one; he merely claims that God lied. The woman is not convinced by this foolish argument, she merely accepts it in order to obtain that which she desires. Such is still the case today; people use foolish arguments as mere excuses for the sins which they desire.(Conte)
(b)3:7
And the eyes, etc: Not that they were blind before, (for the woman saw that the tree was fair to the eyes, ver. 6.) nor yet that their eyes were opened to any more perfect knowledge of good; but only to the unhappy experience of having lost the good of original grace and innocence, and incurred the dreadful evil of sin. From whence followed a shame of their being naked; which they minded not before; because being now stript of original grace, they quickly began to be subject to the shameful rebellions of the flesh.(Challoner)
(c)3:14 The term ‘omnia animantia’ (all living things) certainly includes the wild beasts of the earth, so the translation could be: ‘even among the wild beasts,’ or, ‘including the wild beasts.’ Biblical texts do not follow the usual rules of modern composition, which would not generally present a list of items, one item of which included the other items.(Conte)
(d)3:15
She shall crush: Ipsa, the woman; so divers of the fathers read this place, conformably to the Latin: others read it ipsum, viz., the seed. The sense is the same: for it is by her seed, Jesus Christ, that the woman crushes the serpent’s head.(Challoner)
(e)3:19 Adam was taken (or derived) from the earth, but Eve was taken (or derived) from Adam. Notice also that Adam has his name given before the Fall from grace, but Eve does not receive her name until after the Fall from grace.(Conte)
(f)3:22
Behold Adam, etc: This was spoken by way of reproaching him with his pride, in affecting a knowledge that might make him like to God.(Challoner)
