Some brothers and I met this am, and all currently caught up in the OT. Faced with the familiar Gen passages, and still finding the insights afresh. Wondrous one made the connection twixt Adam/Eve covering sin and the Lord covering sin with His blood. Nice parallel.
Brother this am asked about the imparting of God's command about the tree and fruit avoidance. Was Eve present for the communication or was it secondhand? In Gen2 when that command is issued, she is in fact not there. But in Gen3, she repeats what she heard to liar. Either she is repeating something she herself was also told, or she was repeating something given to her from Adam.
Take whatever political side you wish to take prior to answering this question. I don't care if you wish to pin that colored ribbon to your shirt when you do. Doesn't change the timing of the first sin. Perhaps it is easier for you to swallow or to place blame. All it serves to prove is that we can rationalize many things when we have the mind to do so. Read into that.
