The Holy Spirit seems to have especially held back a lot here while showing us there was more to what happened, for instance in not revealing more about what it means that Adam was with Eve at the time, so we don’t know what he heard or didn’t, and also that Adam sinned partly in listening to the voice of his wife, though there’s no record of that exchange also.
Interesting too to consider that Adam and Eve might have been able to work together in the Garden until their punishments in being expelled from it drastically changed everything.
The Adam is the first recorded ‘liberal’, why he even blamed the Heavenly Father for giving him ‘that’ woman...
Which is why so much of this is how many angels can dance on the head of a pin territory.
It’s maybe interesting from an intellectual POV, but not productive otherwise.
Honestly, I have enough to deal with from the parts I can understand and are more clearly spelled out than to waste any more time in what appears to really be idle speculation about things we cannot know any more about.
So with that, I bow out of the conversation.
Have a good night.
It appears that purgatory hadn't been invented yet.
“with her” can mean: in the general region of the garden, within sight of each other or within arms length. None of which takes away the responsibility of Eve for taking that bite.
There may have been no verbel communication between the two, only her handing it to him with her eyes saying ‘do it with me’.
