The King James Version (KJV) got Genesis 3:16 right in 1611. The Revised Standard Version (RSV) got it wrong in 1952 by inserting what looked like a curse on Eve that God never placed on her in the Hebrew text back in the beginning.

In her new article for the scholarly journal Priscilla Papers, Joy Fleming, PhD, PsyD, points out the word patterns that the RSV (and the NIV, the NLT, the ESV and others) totally missed. Taking them into account helps us "true" the verse!

On this audio episode (the script and the footnotes are available on the Tru316 Foundation YT channel) we read from Joy's article titled "Two Ways of Translating and Interpreting Genesis 3:16a, One Older and One Newer: Does it Matter."

EARLY RELEASE! How have we missed what happened in Eden? It happens when we start by wrongly thinking Genesis 3 is about The Fall when it really is about The Attack and The Aftermath! Based on decades of research by Dr. Joy Fleming here is a sample sermon, that can also be used as a lesson plan, on WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN EDEN BACK IN THE BEGINNING!

What you will find here is (1) the distinction between the first-degree and the second-degree eater at the tree, (2) the differences God made in responding to these different levels of offense - including the serpent tempter's first-degree offenses, (3) mistakes made in thinking the woman was the more serious offender, and (4) the God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.
