Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12, 13) She gave me . . . --There is again in Adam the same passiveness which we noticed on Genesis 3:6. He has little sense of responsibility, and no feeling that he had a duty towards Eve, and ought to have watched over her, and helped her when tempted. It is a mistake to suppose that he wished to shift the blame, first upon Eve, and then upon God, who had given her to him; rather, he recapitulates the history, as if, in his view, it was a matter of course that he should act as he had done (see on Genesis 3:20), and as if he had no sense that there was any blame whatever attaching to any one. His conscience still seems utterly unmoved. Far nobler is the woman's answer. She acknowledges that she had been led astray, and, under the influence of the serpent's deceit, had broken God's commandment.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAnd the manהָֽאָדָ֑ם (hā·’ā·ḏām)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 120: Ruddy, a human beinganswered,וַיֹּ֖אמֶר (way·yō·mer)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, say“The womanהָֽאִשָּׁה֙ (hā·’iš·šāh)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 802: Woman, wife, femalewhomאֲשֶׁ֣ר (’ă·šer)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatYou gaveנָתַ֣תָּה (nā·ṯat·tāh)Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 5414: To give, put, setme,עִמָּדִ֔י (‘im·mā·ḏî)Preposition | first person common singularStrong's 5978: Against, by, from, me, mine, of, that I take, unto, sheהִ֛וא (hî)Pronoun - third person feminine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, aregaveנָֽתְנָה־ (nā·ṯə·nāh-)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 5414: To give, put, setme [fruit] fromמִן־ (min-)PrepositionStrong's 4480: A part of, from, out ofthe tree,הָעֵ֖ץ (hā·‘êṣ)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 6086: Tree, trees, woodand I ate it.”וָאֹכֵֽל׃ (wā·’ō·ḵêl)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - first person common singularStrong's 398: To eatJump to PreviousAte Eat Fruit Gavest Tree
