And the LORD God said unto the woman,
What is this that you have done?
And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
All Commentaries on Genesis 3:13 Go To Genesis 3
Ephrem The Syrian
AD 373
When Adam was unwilling to confess his fault, God went down to Eve with a question, saying to her, "What is this that you have done?" [ Gen. 3:13 ] Eve, too, instead of making supplication with tears and taking the fault upon herself in the hope that pardon might come upon herself and her husband, answered back, not saying, "The serpent counseled me" or "enticed me," but simply, "The serpent deceived me and I ate. " [ Gen. 3:13 ]
