The greater one, the sun, presides during the day the lesser one, the moon, presides through the night. For God made two great lights, the sun and the moon, to shine down upon the earth. Let their light shine down upon the earth.” And so it was. They will be signs to mark off the seasons, the days, and the years. This all happened on the third day.Īnd God said, “Let bright lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. The land was filled with seed-bearing plants and trees, and their seeds produced plants and trees of like kind. The seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And so it was. And let there be trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. Then God said, “Let the land burst forth with every sort of grass and seed-bearing plant. 10God named the dry ground “land” and the water “seas.” And God saw that it was good. And God called the space “sky.” This happened on the second day.Īnd God said, “Let the waters beneath the sky be gathered into one place so dry ground may appear.” And so it was. God made this space to separate the waters above from the waters below. God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” Together these made up one day.Īnd God said, “Let there be space between the waters, to separate water from water.” And so it was. Then he separated the light from the darkness. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And the Spirit of God was hovering over its surface. The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness. For those in Christ, though, the curse of death will be overcome (Ephesians 2:1-10).In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. That's the curse all humans have lived under ever since. In addition to being separated from God's presence in a spiritual death, every day of Adam's life from this moment on would be marked by an awareness that he would one day die. In modern language, we sometimes refer metaphorically to a person with a fatal injury or disease as "already dead." Adam's heart may have continued to beat for many years, but the poison which killed him entered his body when he sinned. It's true that Adam did not stop breathing on the day he ate of the tree, but death entered into his life on that day. Death would be the final consequence of Adam's choice to sin, just as God had warned when giving the command. God, who formed Adam out of the dust of the ground, announces that Adam will one day die and return to dust. And it would end in Adam's eventual death. Now God concludes by saying that instead of work being a joyful source of purpose and meaning in Adam's life, it would be a lifelong source of necessary frustration. The ground itself would be cursed, making it difficult to get the crops they would need to live. In the previous two verses, God revealed that Adam's working life in the fields would be marked by pain and frustration. This verse concludes God's curse on Adam for his sin, and it has a devastating ring of finality. For you are dust, and you will return to dust."" Genesis 3:19, CSB: "You will eat bread by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground, since you were taken from it. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return.'" Genesis 3:19, NLT: "By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. Genesis 3:19, NASB: "By the sweat of your face You shall eat bread, Until you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.'" Genesis 3:19, KJV: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." Genesis 3:19, ESV: "By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”" Genesis 3:19 Parallel Verses Genesis 3:19, NIV: "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken for dust you are and to dust you will return.'"
