창세기 3:19의 주석
בְּזֵעַ֤ת אַפֶּ֙יךָ֙ תֹּ֣אכַל לֶ֔חֶם עַ֤ד שֽׁוּבְךָ֙ אֶל־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה כִּ֥י מִמֶּ֖נָּה לֻקָּ֑חְתָּ כִּֽי־עָפָ֣ר אַ֔תָּה וְאֶל־עָפָ֖ר תָּשֽׁוּב׃
네가 얼굴에 땀이 흘러야 식물을 먹고 필경은 흙으로 돌아 가리니 그 속에서 네가 취함을 입었음이라 너는 흙이니 흙으로 돌아갈 것이니라 하시니라
Rashi on Genesis
בזעת אפיך IN THE SWEAT OF THY FACE — after you have taken all this great trouble.

Kli Yakar on Genesis
By the sweat of your face, you shall eat bread: There is support from here for the words of the physicians who say that before eating anything, a person should engage in some work that warms up [the eater], since this helps digestion. And it is as it is written (Psalms 128:2), "For you shall eat the labor of your hands; happy shall you be, and it shall be well with you." That which Scripture states (Genesis 13:17), "With itzavon you shall eat from it all the days of your life," is because itzavon is an expression of work, as it is stated in Job (10:8), "Your hands have made me (itzvoni) and fashioned me." And its saying, "all the days of your life," is to teach that he should eat uniquely for the sake of his life, and not seek luxuries. As what is the benefit of working for emptiness?

Sforno on Genesis
אל עפר תשוב, you will revert to dust, just as I had told you “on the day you eat from it you will surely become mortal.” (not that he would actually die on that same day).
