"unto thee shall be his desire"
Genesis 3:16 ESV and Genesis 4:7 ESV
I find the parallels between Genesis 3:16 & Genesis 4:7 very interesting.In verse 3:16, speaking to woman [Eve], God says, "thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.", while in verse 4:7, his is speaking to Cain of sin, saying, "unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him."
the phrasing is also parallel in the original Hebrew, with the same terms of speech being used - desire meaning the desire to control, rule over, and master. God tells woman that she will desire to control and tempt her husband, but the will rule over her. In the same manner, sin will try to control and tempt Cain, but God tells him to rule over sin.
