Cross-References
Now the snake was the most clever of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day the snake said to the woman, "Did God really say that you must not eat fruit from any tree in the garden?"
The woman answered the snake, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden.
The man said, "You gave this woman to me and she gave me fruit from the tree, so I ate it."
The Lord God said to the snake, "Because you did this, a curse will be put on you. You will be cursed as no other animal, tame or wild, will ever be. You will crawl on your stomach, and you will eat dust all the days of your life.
I will make you and the woman enemies to each other. Your descendants and her descendants will be enemies. One of her descendants will crush your head, and you will bite his heel."
Then God said to the man, "You listened to what your wife said, and you ate fruit from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat. "So I will put a curse on the ground, and you will have to work very hard for your food. In pain you will eat its food all the days of your life.
You will sweat and work hard for your food. Later you will return to the ground, because you were taken from it. You are dust, and when you die, you will return to the dust."
When the sons of God saw that these girls were beautiful, they married any of them they chose.
After some time the wife of Joseph's master began to desire Joseph, and one day she said to him, "Have sexual relations with me."
Among the things I saw was a beautiful coat from Babylonia and about five pounds of silver and more than one and one-fourth pounds of gold. I wanted these things very much for myself, so I took them. You will find them buried in the ground under my tent, with the silver underneath."
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Moreover, the old gate repaired Jehoiada, the son of Paseah, and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah,.... Which some think was so called because it led to the old city Salem. Dr. Lightfoot a thinks it is the same with the second or third gate, Zephaniah 1:10. According to Vatablus, it was the gate of the old pool, Isaiah 22:11, or rather, perhaps, it was the gate of the old wall Josephus speaks of b; it led to the north of the land:
they laid the beams thereof; as in Nehemiah 3:3.
a Ut supra. (Chorograph. Cent. of the Land of Israel, c. 26. p. 27. vol. 2.) b De Bello Jud. l. 5. c. 4. sect. 2, 3.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The old gate - Either the modern Damascus gate, the main entrance to the city on the north side; or a gate a little further eastward.
