NET Bible note supports the control interpretation: Gen 3:16 announces a power struggle where the woman desires to control the man but the man will dominate her instead.

Scholarly support for the control/conflict interpretation

The NET Bible note responds to Belleville's argument, stating it ignores Gen 4:7 where 'teshukah' clearly refers to sin's desire to control/dominate Cain. Even in Song of Songs 7:10, the NET suggests it may carry the basic meaning of control (the young man's desire to have his way sexually). In Gen 3:16, the Lord announces a struggle: she will desire to control him, but he will dominate her instead. This fits the judgment oracle tone of the passage.

@MarkAnthonyNel4 @rightresponsem As for “right at the door,” It’s like saying, “You can hear the knock; the arrival is certain and close.” In Hebrew thought, “at the door” often marks a decisive point as in Gen 4:7 (“sin is crouching at the door”) or...

@AVER735 Gen 4:7 has nothing to do with Eve and is a completely different context. Song of Solomon 7:10 is the relevant sense: “I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me.” So you agree that the ground is cursed, not Adam or Eve? God never comman...
