(Did Adam and Eve not keep this, until after they fell?)

 

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

  28a And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,

 

(It says in the following, that Adam called his wife Eve, and it also said, because she was the mother of all living:)

 

Genesis 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

 

(This was right after the fall, but before they were put out of the garden.

It didn't say that she "would be" the mother of all living, which is how most present that, but, rather, it says, she "was" the mother of all living.

Did that mean that she may already had given birth to some children, before the fall, but not in sorrow, which would come as a result of the fall:)

 

Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

 

(Why do many seem to consider, that the first time Adam and Eve came together, was not until 4:1, after they were put out of the garden?)

 

Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

  2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

 

(Did they have no desire for coming together, until that time?

Or did they come together, but Eve simply didn't become pregnant until 4:1?

That is hard to believe, since the LORD told them to be fruitful and multiply, in 1:28, and he pronounced everything to be very good.

And it would then seem that:)

Psalms 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

 

(Would only apply to them after they fell, but not before?)

 

(I ask these questions, because I simply do not know about this, one way or the other.)
