Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 2:16

16. And the LORD God commanded the Man , saying, of every Tree of the Garden thou mayest freely eat :

And the Woman too (as appears both from the permission for eating Herbs and Fruits given to her, together with her Husband, Gen. 1. 28, 29. and from Gen. 3. 1, 2, 3. and from Eves punishment) and that either immediately, or by Adam whom God enjoyned to inform her thereof.

Without offence to me, or nutt to thy self. The words in Hebrew have the form of a command, but are only a permission or indulgence, as 1 Cor. 10. 25, 27.

Marginal references: Heb. Eating thou shalt eat.
