Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 2:17

17. But of the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: For in the day in which thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely dye .

With a threefold death. 1. Spiritual by the guilt and power of sin, at that instant thou shalt be dead in trespasses and sins, Eph. 2. 1. 2. Temporal, or the death of the Body which shall then begin in thee, by decayes, infirmities, terrors, dangers, and other harbingers of death. 3. Eternal, which shall immediately succeed the other.

Marginal references: Heb. dying thou shalt dye.
