Amen, Carmen.
This is so interesting. For years I went to sleep listening to the Bible. It was so soothing, tranquil, and serene. One night I wondered about this very passage. And I asked God to reveal the meaning of the story to me.
In Genesis, when Adam blams Eve, a thought occurred to me. That story is often presented as Eve's fault. But, if you read carefully, God made the covenant with Adam before Eve even arrived.
So, it was Adam who broke the covenant because that covenant was not made with both of them present.
Still, people have blamed Eve, although she was never a part of the actual covenant.
When we read the Bible we have to ask questions of God. He answers, because he has promised us that he would.
