Was Adam blaming Eve?
Upvote:3
I think the biggest grammatical clue is the existence of the phrase itself.
βThe woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree" Gen 3v12
We also see Eve's words.
And the woman said, βThe serpent deceived me, and I ate.β Gen 3v13
I think claiming, "I ate" would have been telling enough however Adam makes it a point to qualify his statement with the additional words. I believe the conversational language in this chapter tells more of the story and that Adam was downplaying the severity of his choice with the additional qualifiers. By doing so it appears that he was blaming Eve. The serpent tried to downplay the severity of the consequences for eating the fruit earlier in the chapter.
