Cheryl believes that although Eve’s quotation of God’s words was a direct command given to her only, since Adam had already been told what not to eat (Gen 2:17), it is therefore her opinion that Eve did not ‘misquote’ what was already given to Adam.

Adam had already been told once what to eat (trees in the garden), before he was given more food (trees on the face of the earth). So God tells Adam twice what he can eat.

God could have prohibited Adam twice from eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil since he twice told him what he could eat.
