St. Athanasius on Gen 2:17

"This 'you shall die by death,' what else might it be except not merely to die, but to remain in the corruption of death?"

     St. Athanasius, De incarnatione 3, trans. Behr (St. Athanasius the Great On the incarnation:  Greek original and English translation, Popular patristics series 44a (St. Vladimir's Seminary Press, 2011), 57).

BHS:  כִּ֗י בְּי֛וֹם אֲכָלְךָ֥ מִמֶּ֖נּוּ מ֥וֹת תָּמֽוּת׃

LXX:  ᾗ δ᾽ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ φάγητε ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, θανάτῳ ἀποθανεῖσθε.

Vulgate:  in quocumque enim die comederis ex eo, morte morieris.
