Genesis 3:1-5 – Two Observations
Two interesting (to me) observations from the temptation scene of Genesis 3:1-7:
o Although the tetragrammaton is used throughout the Garden of Eden narrative (Genesis 2-3) and even in 3:1 introducing the temptation scene, Satan never uses it when speaking to Eve.
o While Satan is tempting Eve, Satan is tempting Eve to tempt Adam. Notice the plural use of “you” throughout Genesis 3:1-5.
