Genesis 3:16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 To the woman he said:
I will intensify your toil in childbearing;
in pain[a] you shall bring forth children.
Yet your urge shall be for your husband,
and he shall rule over you.
Footnotes
- 3:16 Toil…pain: the punishment affects the woman directly by increasing the toil and pain of having children. He shall rule over you: the punishment also affects the woman’s relationship with her husband. A tension is set up in which her urge (either sexual urge or, more generally, dependence for sustenance) is for her husband but he rules over her. But see Sg 7:11.
