Personally, I do not see Banishment as an issue at all when it comes to hierarchy. Why? Because the seed of Messiah had been promised by God through “her” which would crush the serpent. Eve was contemplating this promise when she bore Cain. Note she does not give Adam any credit for or even interest in her first born son:
“I have acquired a man from the LORD.”

The Hebrew is better translated:
The “I have purchased a man with YHWH” or “I have purchased the man YHWH.”

The whole concept of “purchase” has been wiped out of translations. It has been translated as “get” or “aquired” which does not fully communicate what Eve was saying.

Who cares about Banishment when one is looking for Messiah to crush Satan? The damage was done. Eve was hoping Cain was the promised seed.
