It’s readable, but not smoothed. Nothing is added beyond what’s traceable.

RENDERED LINE

To the woman he said, “Greatly I will increase your pain and your conception. In pain you shall bear children. And toward your man is your desire, and he shall rule over you.”

RENDERING NOTES

“To the woman he said” (אֶל־הָאִשָּׁה אָמַר) — standard divine address formula, used as in v.14.

“Greatly I will increase” (הַרְבָּה אַרְבֶּה) — infinitive absolute + imperfect verb; intensification construction in Hebrew.

“Your pain and your conception” (עִצְּבוֹנֵךְ וְהֵרוֹנֵךְ) — two paired internal conditions; not clearly separable.

“In pain you shall bear children” (בְּעֶצֶב תֵּלְדִי בָנִים) — root etzev repeated; birth through toil.

“And to your man is your desire” (וְאֶל־אִישֵׁךְ תְּשׁוּקָתֵךְ) — relational longing, ambiguous in tone.

“He shall rule over you” (וְהוּא יִמְשָׁל־בָּךְ) — Qal imperfect “yimshol” (rule/dominate); relational hierarchy introduced.

INSERTION / HELPER WORD TRACKING

“Is” and “shall” inserted for English verb clarity.

“And” retained to mirror connective “vav” usage.

Quotation marks used to frame direct divine speech.

CONTEXTUAL PLACEMENT

Second of three divine addresses (serpent → woman → man).

Marks transition from serpent’s cosmic curse to human embodied consequence.

Introduces themes of pain, procreation, and relational imbalance.

STRUCTURAL ALIGNMENT NOTES

Mirrors 3:14 in structure (address formula + direct consequence).

Echoes and sets up structural reversal in Genesis 4:7 (desire/rule echo).

Double intensification (harbah arbeh) frames this consequence with marked emphasis.

This rendering is provided for orientation only.

It draws from the Line Source File and reflects the structure of the original text as faithfully as possible, while adapting to minimal English phrasing.
