Gênesis 2:16 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 2:16

And the Lord God commanded the man
Over whom he had power and authority; and he had a right to command him what he pleased, being his Creator, benefactor, and preserver; and this is to be understood not of man only, but of the woman also, whose creation, though related afterwards, yet was before this grant to eat of all the trees of the garden but one, and the prohibition of the fruit of that; for that she was in being, and present at this time, seems manifest from ( Genesis 3:2 Genesis 3:3 ) saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
a very generous, large, and liberal allowance this: or "in eating thou mayest eat" ^F25; which was giving full power, and leaving them without any doubt and uncertainty about their food; which they might freely take, and freely eat of, wherever they found it, or were inclined to, even of any, and every tree in the garden, excepting one, next forbidden.

Gênesis 2:16 In-Context

14 O nome do terceiro rio é Tigre: este é o que corre pelo oriente da Assíria. E o quarto rio é o Eufrates.

15 Tomou, pois, o Senhor Deus o homem, e o pôs no jardim do Édem para o lavrar e guardar.

16 Ordenou o Senhor Deus ao homem, dizendo: De toda árvore do jardim podes comer livremente;

17 mas da árvore do conhecimento do bem e do mal, dessa não comerás; porque no dia em que dela comeres, certamente morrerás.

18 Disse mais o Senhor Deus: Não é bom que o homem esteja só; far-lhe-ei uma ajudadora que lhe seja idônea.
