   Rabbi Yaakov Beasley

   Chapter 2 plays an important role in understanding the penalties that Hashem metes out to the participants of the sin.  Each punishment reflects the reversal of the idyllic situation that previously existed. In unlocking the meaning of our narrative, we must play close attention to this structure.
