Hebrew word for toil
Root word: atsab
Not the Hebrew words used for labor pains
Same word that is used for Adam’s curse in Genesis 3:17 - in itsabon you will eat of it (the land) all the days of your life
For some reason, English translations have this as “pain” for Eve, but “toil” for Adam.
see Genesis 6:6, Isaiah 54:5, 2 Samuel 19:1-2 to name a few
Grief, brokenheardedness, desolation
I think this has contributed to the fear/pain cycleof childbirth
Could it be that God didn’t curse Eve with labor pains
