    Genesis 3:16

    Has anyone else come across a translation that reads this way for Genesis 3:16?
    Mrs. Zeke just got a NLT and she was telling me about it so I researched it a bit on biblegateway. They don't have the NLT, but the EXB seems to support this notion.


    Genesis 3:16
    Expanded Bible

    16 Then God said to the woman,

    "I will ·cause you to have much trouble [or increase your pain]
    ·when you are pregnant [in childbearing],
    and when you give birth to children,
    you will have great pain.
    You will greatly desire [C the word implies a desire to control; 4:7] your husband,
    but he will rule over you."
    And here is 4:7, which seems to support this translation.



    Genesis 4:7
    Expanded Bible

    7 If you do things ·well [correctly; appropriately], ·I will [L will I not...?] accept you, but if you do not do them ·well [correctly; appropriately], sin is ·ready to attack you [L crouching at the door]. Sin ·wants [desires to control; 3:16] you, but you must rule over it."

    I did find the NLT on their site. Here is how it reads:

    Genesis 3:16
    New Living Translation

    16 Then he said to the woman,

    "I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy,
    and in pain you will give birth.
    And you will desire to control your husband,
    but he will rule over you.[a]"
