Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Genesis 3:10

_ _ Genesis 3:10-13. The examination.

_ _ afraid, because ... naked — apparently, a confession — the language of sorrow; but it was evasive — no signs of true humility and penitence — each tries to throw the blame on another.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Genesis 3:9-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Genesis 3:10

I heard thy voice in the garden: and I was afraid — Adam was afraid because he was naked; not only unarmed, and therefore afraid to contend with God, but unclothed and therefore afraid so much as to appear before him.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Genesis 3:10

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I [was] (i) naked; and I hid myself.

(i) His hypocrisy appears in that he hid the cause of his nakedness, which was the transgression of God's commandment.
