In this episode of Decoding Codex, we dive headfirst into one of the most famous, scrutinized, and misunderstood chapters in ancient literature: Genesis Chapter 3.

But we aren't just rereading a story you’ve heard a hundred times. Instead, we are looking directly at a brand-new translation that strips away centuries of theological bias to focus entirely on literal, root-level Semitic meanings.

Listen in as we break down:

The Sovereign: Understanding the raw power behind the multi-layered title used for the Creator.
The Shrewd Serpent: Moving past modern imagery to see how the original text frames this infamous instigator.
The Soil: Exploring the literal poetry of the human relationship to the earth, the consequences of the forbidden fruit, and the immediate shift in human consciousness.

Whether you are a student of history, a lover of linguistics, or just curious about the ancient world, this episode offers a fresh, accessible perspective on a foundational text.

Decoding Codex is a passion project dedicated to translating the Hebrew Torah into modern, friendly English.

Please Note: I am not a formal theological authority, a pastor, or an academic professor. I’m just a guy who loves the text, digging into the roots of these ancient words to make them accessible, vibrant, and thought-provoking for a broader, everyday audience.
