Redemption from the Curse and What that Means for You Today Part2
Dan A. RodriguezEpisode Description
"Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced in the law." (Galatians 3:13 NLT)
The disobedient to God, His Word, and His commandments will live under this curse that came into the earth because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. God gave Adam and Eve one commandment, and it was the violation of that one commandment that allowed sin and death to enter the world.
And of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it -- dying thou dost die.' (Genesis 2:17 YLT)
The author of Young’s Hebrew and Greek Bible Concordance was also the author of the Young’s Literal Translation quoted above. Most translations say, "You will certainly die." In Hebrew mut t'mut (the phrase in question) is literally, "in dying you will die." It is death on every level and in every area of human existence. Nothing was left unaffected by the entrance of sin and death into this planet because of Adam and Eve’s disobedience.
So then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned. (Romans 5:12 NET)
Betrayal of Adam opened the door for the entrance of sin and death. That sin and death was and is the curse that inhabits the earth.
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. (Genesis 3:17 KJV)
Genesis 3:17 is better translated in the God Speaks Today version: "The earth will be under curse because of you."
The New English Translation (NET) says: “Thanks to you.” God was speaking to Adam here! In other words, “Adam, it’s YOUR fault the earth has come under a curse!”
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. (Genesis 3:16 KJV)
Genesis 3:16 does not say in Hebrew "I will greatly multiply your sorrow" as though it was God's fault, but almost all English and Spanish translations translate it that way or in a similar manner. That was NOT a translation, but an opinion injected by most translators. Only two translations that I found agree with the Hebrew text:
Contemporary English Version: "You will suffer terribly when you give birth."
The Living Bible- "You will give birth to your children with intense pain and suffering."
In Hebrew transliteration and in translation it literally says:
"ha-ishah amar" – to the woman said
"har-bah ar-beh" - in (the) increase will increase
"itz-bonech" - your pain
So God was saying:
To the woman (He) said. "Your pain will greatly increase..."
That is a better translation. There was no mention of God saying "I will increase your pain."
When one combines Genesis 2:17 and 3:17 you begin to see that God is calling this death that would affect all people and all the earth—THE CURSE. The word "curse" describes all the activity of death in all areas of human life. Everything on earth came under this devastating curse. The curse came through the fault of Adam. It was neither God’s fault nor His plan.
