Cross-References
The snake was sneakier than any of the other wild animals that the Lord God had made. One day it came to the woman and asked, "Did God tell you not to eat fruit from any tree in the garden?"
The woman answered, "God said we could eat fruit from any tree in the garden,
except the one in the middle. He told us not to eat fruit from that tree or even to touch it. If we do, we will die."
The Lord called out to the man and asked, "Where are you?"
The man answered, "I was naked, and when I heard you walking through the garden, I was frightened and hid!"
"It was the woman you put here with me," the man said. "She gave me some of the fruit, and I ate it."
Then the Lord God made clothes out of animal skins for the man and his wife.
The Lord said, "These people now know the difference between right and wrong, just as we do. But they must not be allowed to eat fruit from the tree that lets them live forever."
But we don't want to take a chance on being killed by that terrible fire, and if we keep on hearing the Lord 's voice, we will die.
You must keep your camp clean of filthy and disgusting things. The Lord is always present in your camp, ready to rescue you and give you victory over your enemies. But if he sees something disgusting in your camp, he may turn around and leave.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And from Jerusalem,.... The metropolis of the country of Judea;
and from Idumea, or Edom, as the Syriac version reads it; a country that lay on the south of Judea, formerly inhabited by the sons of Edom, but now by Jews; or at least the inhabitants of it were proselytes to the Jewish religion. Mention is made of the plains of Idumea, along with Gazera, Azotus, and Jamnia, as in 1 Maccabees:
"Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slain with the sword: for they pursued them unto Gazera, and unto the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia, so that there were slain of them upon a three thousand men.'' (1 Maccabees 4:15)
Pliny t speaks of Idumea and Judea together, as a part of Syria; and Ptolemy says u, this country lies on the west of the river Jordan; and it is here added,
and from beyond Jordan; the country of Peraea, on the east of Jordan:
and they about Tyre and Sidon; either the inhabitants of these places, as the Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions favour, reading "a great company from Tyre and Sidon"; or those that lived near the borders, and upon the confines of these cities of Phoenicia:
a great multitude; when all met together, from these several parts; who
when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him: for his fame went through all the countries, for the miracles he wrought; which drew this vast concourse of people after him; and who, inquiring where he was, came to him at the sea of Galilee.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
To the sea - The Sea of Galilee, or to the lonely regions which surrounded the sea, where he might be in obscurity, and avoid their designs against his life. His time had not yet come, and he prudently took care of his life, thus showing that we are not needlessly to throw ourselves into danger.
Galilee - See the notes at Matthew 2:22.
Judea - The southern division of the land of Palestine.
Jerusalem - Jerusalem was “in” Judea. It is mentioned particularly to show that not only the people of the surrounding country came, but also many from the capital, the place of wealth, and honor, and power.
Idumea - The country formerly inhabited by the “Edomites.” In the time of the Saviour it was embraced in the country belonging to the Jews. It was south of Judea proper. The word “Idumea” is a Greek word made from the Hebrew “Edom.” It signifies the land of Edom, a name given to Esau, one of the sons of Isaac, Genesis 25:30. The word signifies “red,” and the name was given to him because he sought of Jacob red pottage as the price of his birthright. He settled in Mount Seir Deuteronomy 2:5, on the south of the land of Canaan, and the country of Idumea was bounded by Palestine on the north. During the Babylonian captivity the Edomites spread themselves into the country of Judea, and occupied a considerable part of the south of Palestine. They had, however, submitted to the rite of circumcision, and were incorporated with the Jews. From them sprang Herod the Great.
From beyond Jordan - From the region lying east of the river Jordan. The sacred writers lived on the west side of Jordan, and by the country “beyond Jordan” they meant that on the east side.
Tyre and Sidon - See the notes at Matthew 11:21.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Mark 3:8. Tyre - Sidon, &c.] See Matthew 11:21.
When they had heard what great things he did, came unto him. — So, if Christ be persecuted and abandoned by the wicked, there are a multitude of pious souls who earnestly seek and follow him. He who labours for God will always find more than he loses, in the midst of all his contradictions and persecutions.
