Ten curses were pronounced against Eve:--The words "greatly multiply,"
"thy sorrow" (alluding to rearing a family), "thy conception," "in
sorrow shalt thou bring forth," "thy desire shall be to thy husband,"
"he shall rule over thee," express six of these. The remainder are:--She
should be wrapped up like a mourner (that is, she should not appear in

These were:--The well that followed Israel in the wilderness, the manna,
