Kejadian 3:2

3:2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat ¹  of the fruit from the trees of the orchard;

Kejadian 9:7

9:7 But as for you, ²  be fruitful and multiply; increase abundantly on the earth and multiply on it.”

[3:2]  ¹ tn There is a notable change between what the Lord God had said and what the woman says. God said “you may freely eat” (the imperfect with the infinitive absolute, see 2:16), but the woman omits the emphatic infinitive, saying simply “we may eat.” Her words do not reflect the sense of eating to her heart’s content.

[9:7]  ² sn The disjunctive clause (conjunction + pronominal subject + verb) here indicates a strong contrast to what has preceded. Against the backdrop of the warnings about taking life, God now instructs the people to produce life, using terms reminiscent of the mandate given to Adam (Gen 1:28).
