Adam and Eve Sinned in the Garden and are equally guilty, equally punished on being sent from the Garden of Eden for eating forbidden fruit. Eve is punished for her part in yielding first to the serpent. Genesis 2:18. And the LORD* God said, “It is not good that the man (Adam) should be alone. I shall make a helper for him, corresponding to him.” Eve is made equal to Adam and adequate to work together with him in any task assigned by God. Although it could be that before God built Eve that Adam was commanded to not eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and bad, Genesis 2:16 And the LORD* God commanded the man saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden, 17. but you will not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die.”
