And the woman says to the serpent, "From the fruit of the trees of the garden we eat,
but from the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God has said, You do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest you die."
And the woman sees that the tree [is] good for food, and that it [is] pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make [one] wise, and she takes from its fruit and eats, and also gives [some] to her husband with her, and he eats;
and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they [are] naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make girdles for themselves.
And he says, "I have heard Your sound in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself."

And YHWH God says to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed [are] you above all the livestock, and above every beast of the field: on your belly you go, and dust you eat, [for] all days of your life;
and I put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He bruises your head, and you bruise His heel."
And YHWH God says, "Behold, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and has also taken from the Tree of Life, and eaten, and lived for all time."
Gill's Notes on the Bible
He hath builded against me,.... Fortresses, as the Targum adds; as when forts and batteries were raised by the Chaldeans against the city of Jerusalem, in which the prophet was:
and compassed [me] with gall and travail; or "weariness" e; the same with gall and wormwood, Lamentations 3:19; as Jarchi observes. The sense is, he was surrounded with sorrow, affliction, and misery, which were as disagreeable as gall; or like poison that drank up his spirits, and made him weary of his life. Thus our Lord was exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; ÏεÏÎ¹Î»Ï ÏοÏ, encompassed with sorrows, Matthew 26:38. The Targum is,
"he hath surrounded the city, and rooted up the heads of the people, and caused them to fail.''
e ×ת××× "et fatigatione", Montanus, Vatablus, Castalio.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
He hath builded ... - The metaphor is taken from the operations in a siege.
Gall and travail - Or âtravail;â i. e. bitterness and weariness (through toil).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Lamentations 3:5. He hath builded against me — Perhaps there is a reference here to the mounds and ramparts raised by the Chaldeans in order to take the city.
