Eve
quote:
if Eve's punishment is for her and her line to serve men
The OT is very good at saying what is to continue from generation to generation etc.
Oddly enough, no matter how many times I read the part on Adam and Eve's punishment, not once does it say that either of their individual punishments were to continue to their descendants or to the next generation.
Genesis 3:16
To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
Reads rather singular don't you think?

A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

Re: Eve
KJV Genesis 3:16 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.
I have seen that translation also.
Torah Genesis 3:18-19 Thorns and thistles shall it sprout for you. But your food shall be the grasses of the field; by the sweat of your brow shall you get bread to eat, until you return to the ground For from it you were taken.
Imagine if we took Adam's punishment literally.
No meat for men! Atkins would not be happy.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
