Genesis 3:16

He said to the woman, "I will increase your (physical and emotional) pain when you are pregnant, and in pain you will give birth to your children. And your desire (longing; the one you reach for) will be for your husband, but he will rule over you."
[The Hebrew word for desire/longing teshoqa is used only three times in the Old Testament, see Gen. 4:7 and Song 7:10. The word means "to reach for something" and can sometimes have a sexual connotation, as in the Song of Songs, while the word's more general and sensual meaning is found in Gen. 4:7.]
