Parallels

  • Genesis 2:16-17 (structural): God’s original prohibition about eating from the garden trees — the command that the serpent questions in 3:1.
  • Genesis 3:4-5 (verbal): Immediate continuation: the serpent’s deceptive replies (‘You will not surely die…’) that develop the challenge begun in 3:1.
  • 2 Corinthians 11:3 (allusion): Paul explicitly alludes to the serpent’s craftiness in deceiving Eve, citing Genesis as the paradigmatic instance of subtle deception.
  • Revelation 12:9 (allusion): Identifies Satan with ‘that ancient serpent’ who deceived the world, echoing Genesis’ portrayal of the serpent as the deceiver.
  • Ezekiel 28:13-16 (thematic): Oracles describing a proud being in Eden (guardian/cherub) and a fall from perfection — later interpreters link this garden-fall motif to the origin of evil portrayed in Genesis 3.

Parallels

  • Gen.2.16-17 (structural): God's command about eating from the garden trees (permission except the tree of knowledge) provides the legal/theological context for Eve's statement 'we may eat.'
  • Gen.3.3 (verbal): Immediate continuation of Eve's speech, where she specifies the prohibition—shows her understanding and frames her claim in 3:2.
  • Gen.3.4-5 (thematic): The serpent's reply directly challenges the prohibition and initiates the deception that answers Eve's claim in 3:2.
  • Gen.3.6 (structural): Narrative consequence: after asserting they may eat (3:2), Eve takes and eats the fruit—shows the move from claim to action.
  • 1 Tim.2.14 (allusion): Paul cites Eve being deceived by the serpent to interpret the Genesis episode; connects the woman‑serpent interaction in 3:2 to later theological reflection.

Parallels

  • Genesis 2:16-17 (quotation): The original divine prohibition about the tree is stated here ('You shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die'). Genesis 3:3 quotes and slightly alters that command (adding 'nor shall you touch it').
  • Genesis 3:6 (thematic): Records the violation of the prohibition in 3:3: Eve eats the fruit (and gives it to Adam), directly contradicting the command and triggering the consequences promised ('lest you die').
  • Romans 5:12 (thematic): Paul connects Adam's transgression with the entrance of death into the world ('sin came into the world... and death through sin'), echoing the Genesis warning that disobedience brings death.
  • Deuteronomy 30:19 (thematic): Frames divine commands in terms of a stark choice between life and death ('I have set before you life and death... choose life'), paralleling the Genesis warning that obedience preserves life while disobedience leads to death.

Parallels

  • Genesis 2:17 (structural): The divine command earlier identifies the tree as the source of knowledge of good and evil and warns of death for eating—background to the serpent’s promise that eating will instead open eyes and confer knowledge.
  • Genesis 3:4 (verbal): The serpent’s direct claim (“You will not surely die”) precedes and sets up the promise in 3:5 that eating will open the eyes and make them like God, knowing good and evil.
  • Genesis 3:22 (verbal): God’s observation after the fall that humanity has become ‘like one of Us, knowing good and evil’ echoes the serpent’s prediction in 3:5 and affirms the gained knowledge.
  • Psalm 82:6 (allusion): The declaration ‘I said, “You are gods”’ (and ‘sons of the Most High’) resonates with the motif of humans being ‘like God’ in 3:5, addressing divine-likeness language and its implications.
  • Isaiah 14:14 (thematic): The proud aspiration ‘I will ascend... make myself like the Most High’ parallels the theme of aspiring to be like God in 3:5 and reflects the motif of divine status as a source of hubris.

  • Gen.3:10 (verbal): Adam's immediate reaction—'I was afraid because I was naked'—echoes the newly discovered shame and leads to hiding, a direct consequence of 3:7.
  • Gen.3:21 (structural): Narrative resolution: God provides garments of skins to clothe Adam and Eve, replacing their fig‑leaf coverings and addressing the problem introduced in 3:7.

Parallels

  • 1 Sam.3:4-10 (verbal): God calls Samuel aloud in the night and Samuel answers 'Here am I.' Parallels Gen 3:9 in the motif of the divine voice calling a person and eliciting a response.
  • Luke 15:4-7 (thematic): The parable of the lost sheep emphasizes God's seeking of what is lost/hidden — thematically akin to God seeking the hiding man in the garden after the fall.
  • John 20:15 (structural): Jesus asks Mary Magdalene 'Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?' — a scene of seeking and a question posed to one who does not recognize the seeker, structurally mirror­ing the Gen. 3 encounter (hidden person, divine inquiry).

  • Genesis 3:21 (thematic): God’s provision of garments contrasts Adam’s fear and hiding by addressing the nakedness that produced shame and concealment.
  • Psalm 139:7-12 (thematic): Affirms the theological contrast to Adam’s hiding — the impossibility of hiding from God’s presence, emphasizing divine omnipresence.

Now the serpent was more crafty than any animal of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, 'Indeed, has God said, "You shall not eat from any tree of the garden"?' And the woman said to the serpent, 'From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat.'

'But from the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God said, "You shall not eat from it, and you shall not touch it, lest you die."' And the serpent said to the woman, 'You will not surely die.'

'For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.' And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave to her husband who was with her, and he ate.

Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made for themselves loincloths. And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called to the man and said to him, 'Where are you?'

He said, 'I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.' And he said, 'Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?'

The man said, 'The woman whom you gave to be with me—she gave me from the tree, and I ate.'

Then the LORD God said to the woman, 'What is this you have done?' And the woman said, 'The serpent deceived me, and I ate.'

The LORD God said to the serpent, 'Because you have done this, cursed are you more than all livestock and more than every animal of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall strike your head, and you shall strike his heel.'

To the woman he said, 'I will greatly multiply your pain and your childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. And for your husband will be your desire, and he will rule over you.' And to the man he said, 'Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, "You shall not eat from it," cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;'

'And thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field;'

'By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.' And the man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. And the LORD God made for the man and for his wife garments of skin, and he clothed them.
