GENESIS | 3:7 perceived — GEN378 And they interpreted this as follows: When...

GEN378 And they interpreted this as follows: When the hands write a scroll of the Torah in purity, they are honored and praiseworthy. When they do something improper, they are loathsome.  So it is with the sex organs of Adam and Eve.  Prior to their sinning, it was one way, but after they sinned, quite different.  As in every organ, there is that which is laudatory when the man performs what is good, so there is offensiveness when man does evil.  So it was with the first man concerning the sex organs.  Accordingly, it follow that God’s ways are just, holy and pure.  All that is ugly results from man’s activities.  Iggeret haKodesh—The Holy Letter.  HTBAJ 158-9
