And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes. Genesis 30:15

Trivia: Why did God curse the ground?

Why do thorns and thistles exist?


Because Adam "hearkened unto the voice of his wife."

Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth. Genesis 3:17
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth. Genesis 3:17
