The effects of the cursed ground, with its thorns and thistles, were so keenly felt by Adam’s descendants that Noah’s father, Lamech, spoke of ‘ the pain of their hands resulting from the ground which Jehovah had cursed. ’ ​ — Genesis 3: 17 - 19; 5: 29.
Dampak tanah yang dikutuk itu, beserta tanaman berduri dan rumput berdurinya, begitu dirasakan oleh keturunan Adam sampai - sampai bapak Nuh, Lamekh, berbicara tentang ’ rasa sakit tangan mereka karena tanah yang telah Yehuwa kutuk ’. ​ — Kejadian 3: 17 - 19; 5: 29.
