Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Genesis 3:13

_ _ beguiled — cajoled by flattering lies. This sin of the first pair was heinous and aggravated — it was not simply eating an apple, but a love of self, dishonor to God, ingratitude to a benefactor, disobedience to the best of Masters — a preference of the creature to the Creator.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Genesis 3:11-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Genesis 3:13

What is this that thou hast done? — Wilt thou own thy fault? Neither of them does this fully. Adam lays all the blame upon his wife: She gave me of the tree — Nay, he not only lays the blame upon his wife, but tacitly on God himself. The woman thou gavest me, and gavest to be with me as my companion, she gave me of the tree. Eve lays all the blame upon the serpent; the serpent beguiled me. The prisoners being found guilty by their own confession, besides the infallible knowledge of the Judge, and nothing material being offered in arrest of judgment, God immediately proceeds to pass sentence, and in these verses he begins (where the sin began) with the serpent. God did not examine the serpent, nor ask him what he had done, but immediately sentenced him, (1.) Because he was already convicted of rebellion against God. (2.) Because he was to be for ever excluded from pardon; and why should any thing be said to convince and humble him, who was to find no place for repentance?

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Genesis 3:13

And the LORD God said unto the woman, What [is] this [that] thou hast done? And the woman said, (l) The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

(l) Instead of confessing her sin, she increases it by accusing the serpent.
