In the aftermath of eating the forbidden fruit, the arrival of the seed which Eve would conceive would cause her agony (Gen 2:16–17; Gen 3:1–6, 16).[1]
In addition, she would long for the intimate co-equal relationship she had previously experienced with her husband (Gen 2:18–25). Instead, Adam would rule over her (Gen 3:16, 20).
However, the Lord had already promised the arrival of the “seed of the woman” who would overcome the “seed of the serpent” (Gen 3:15).
This redeemer would ultimately overturn the results of the fall. After informing Eve of the results of her sin, the Lord shifted his focus to Adam.
